Recombinant (chimeric) DNA: fused DNA from two different organisms Recombinant clone: vector (bacterial plasmid, virus) + insert (DNA fragment to be cloned) Recombinant (transgenic) organisms: host genome + clone from another organism
3
cDNA: “complementary DNA”; DNA complementary to RNA Usually made against mRNA cDNA is essentially an intron-less copy of a gene, minus 5’ and 3’ flanking regulatory regions of the gene Prepared using reverse transcriptase (an RNA- dependent DNA polymerase enzyme of RNA viruses)

Bacteriophage lambda: engineered as vector for cloning large DNA fragments Central 1/3 of genome (~45 kb) contains lysogenic function genes Can substitute ~15 kb cloned DNA into genome and the virus is still capable of lytic infection e.g., the Drosophila genome (~150,000 kb) can be contained in a minimum of 10,000 recombinant lambda clones (can fit on one 15 cm Petri plate)

Identifying a desired clone/gene in a library: Use a probe (previously cloned DNA, oligonucleotide, or antibody)

Identifying a desired clone/gene in a library: Use a probe (previously cloned DNA, oligonucleotide, or antibody) Functional complementation (useful in organisms with small genomes) Positional cloning (chromosome “walk” to mutant rearrangement site)

36
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Uses heat-stable DNA polymerase (e.g., Taq polymerase) Requires two opposite-strand primers; ~100 bp - ~3 kb apart on the target template Uses a regimen of temperature cycling to amplify the DNA target between the two primers

55
Complications arising with germline gene therapy to cure genetic diseases in mammals is that most transgene integration events are random (not targeted) Transgene does not replace defective gene (just complements it) Transgene insert might disrupt another gene (creating an undesired mutation) Transgene will usually segregate independently from the disease-causing gene
56
Alternatives in gene therapy Fig 11-39 e.g., transgene on viral vector
