Cell line Most vertebrate cells stop dividing after a finite number of cell divisions in culture – senescence; "immortalized" cell line: telemerase Inactivate the checkpoint mechanisms Cell lines can often be most easily generated from cancer cells.

DNA recombination technology 1. Cleavage of DNA at specific sites by restriction nucleases, which greatly facilitates the isolation and manipulation of individual genes. 2. DNA cloning either through the use of cloning vectors or the polymerase chain reaction, whereby a single DNA molecule can be copied to generate many billions of identical molecules. 3. Nucleic acid hybridization, which makes it possible to find a specific sequence of DNA or RNA with great accuracy and sensitivity on the basis of its ability to bind a complementary nucleic acid sequence. 4. Rapid sequencing of all the nucleotides in a purified DNA fragment, which makes it possible to identify genes and to deduce the amino acid sequence of the proteins they encode. 5. Simultaneous monitoring of the expression level of each gene in a cell, using nucleic acid microarrays that allow tens of thousands of hybridization reactions to be performed simultaneously.
