16
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) PCR is an in vitro technique for the amplification of a region of DNA which lies between two regions of known sequence. PCR amplification is achieved by using oligonucleotide primers. These are typically short, single stranded oligonucleotides which are complementary to the outer regions of known sequence.
17
The steps of: 1.Template denaturation 2.Primer annealing 3.Primer extension http://wine1.sb.fsu.edu/bch5425/lect22/lect22.htm

Clone by RT-PCR
30
Different Cloning Vectors for Different Applications Sizes of inserted DNA commonly obtained with different cloning vectors Cloning Vector Standard high copy number plasmid Bacteriophage Cosmid Bacteriophage P1 PAC (P1 Artificial Chromosome) BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosome) Size of insert (kb) ≤ 10 9-23 30-44 70-100 130-150 ≤ 300 0.2-2000
31
Plasmid-Based Cloning Vectors Naturally occurring plasmids must be modified in order to be used as cloning vectors Insertion of a multiple cloning site (MCS) polylinker ≈ 30bp synthetic sequence with recognition sites for several common restriction enzymes. Insertion of an antibiotics resistance gene for selection in transformed bacterial cells growing in selective medium
32
Plasmid vectors Plasmid vector is: a small, self-reproducing piece of circular DNA found outside of the chromosome. the simplest bacterial vector that is used as a vehicle to carry foreign DNA sequences into E. coli or another host cell.
33
PLASMIDS CIRCULAR DNA MOLECULES AUTONOMOUSLY REPLICATING SELECTABLE MARKER eg AMP RES POLYLINKER OR MCS = MULTIPLE CLONING SITE eg pBR322, pUC18
34
Properties of plasmid vectors Smaller plasmid vectors are preferred for many reasons: 1)the efficiency of transformation is inversely related to the size of the plasmid. The size becomes a limiting factor when the plasmid exceeds 15 kb.
35
Properties of plasmid vectors Smaller plasmids can accommodate larger segments of foreign DNA before the efficiency begins to deteriorate. 2) Larger plasmids are more difficult to characterize by restriction mapping.
36
Properties of plasmid vectors 3) The yield of foreign DNA is reduced with larger plasmids because these plasmids replicate to lower copy numbers.
39
Selection for Recombinant Bacterial Clones The vector used must harbour a suitable marker gene whose activity in the target cell can facilitate the identification of cells carrying it 1. Antibiotic resistance-conferring markers Unmodified (wild-type) host must be sensitive the the chosen antibiotic Ampicillin Tetracycline Chloramphenicol
40
PHAGE BACTERIAL VIRUS MAINLY Larger capacity of insert than PLASMIDS
