In This Video Lecture You Will Learn Basic Concept Of Recombinant DNA Technology
Recombinant DNA technology popularly known as genetic engineering aims at
1. Gene of interest, which is to be cloned.
3. Molecular carrier or vector, on which gene of interest could be placed.
4. The gene of interest along with the vector is then introduced into an expression

synthesizing recombinant DNA which contains DNA from two different sources. In
2. Molecular scissors to cut out the gene of interest.

How to get a gene?
cut the DNA at very speciic sites characterized by speciic sequence of four or six
nucleotides arranged symmetrically in the reverse order. Such sequences are known
which a piece of foreign DNA can be placed, if it ends in bases complementary to those
Another very common method of getting the gene is to synthesize it in the laboratory
growth of viruses. In 1970, Hamilton O. Smith, at Johns Hopkins University, isolated the

If, however, the genes are small, they can also be synthesized in the laboratory.
Genes can be isolated from the chromosomes by cutting the chromosomes on the

About This Channel.....................
I make these videos cause I love to draw and connect the complexity of science and medicine into art. I'm not saying. I'm 100% correct in all my videos, but I do try to obtain the information from credible sources.
One-stop destination for all biology lectures.
_ students in class 11, 12 or appearing for competitive medical exams ( NMDCAT ) will find it very beneficial
_ The videos are categories under various heading to make the students life simplified
