DNA Technology Ch. 20
3
Figure 20.1 An overview of how bacterial plasmids are used to clone genes
4
DNA Technology Recombinant DNA technology –Set of techniques for recombining genes from different sources in vitro and transferring the recombinant DNA to a cell where it is expressed –Typically uses a plasmid as its vector –Same restriction enzymes used to make “sticky end” cuts
5
Figure 20.2 Using a restriction enzyme and DNA ligase to make recombinant DNA
6
Action of Restriction Enzymes
7
Restriction Enzymes Cut DNA after specific base sequences = restriction site Protect bacteria –cut up foreign DNA Sticky ends –jagged cut so other DNA can join DNA ligase –makes addition of DNA permanent
8
DNA Technology Biotechnology –Refers to the use of living organisms or components to do practical tasks –Wine industry –Cheese industry –Selective breeding of livestock and crops –Production of antibiotics
9
Cloning a Eukaryotic Gene Isolation of vector & gene-source DNA –Cloning vector is the original plasmid Insertion of DNA into vector –Use of restriction enzymes –May need to make cell competent (E. coli) Introduction of cloning vector into cells –Naked DNA added to culture –Bacteria take in plasmid by transformation
10
Cloning a Eukaryotic Gene Cells reproduce in a culture –Transformed cells are producing new cells with the cloned gene Identification of cell clones –Typically use the R plasmid for ampicillin resistance –Only cells that have transformed can grow on the ampicillin agar –Nucleic acid hybridization

16
Chapter 13 Polymerase Chain Reaction Section 1 DNA Technology
17
Polymerase Chain Reaction Use when source of DNA is impure or scarce Clones DNA entirely in vitro Making many copies of a specific segment of DNA (billions of copies in a few hours) Used for DNA analysis –Ancient DNA fragments –DNA from tiny samples –DNA from single embryonic cells –DNA of viral genes
18
Polymerase Chain Reaction Devised in 1985 Starting materials: –DNA polymerase, primers, nucleotides
19
Polymerase Chain Reaction Heat to separate DNA strands –use DNA polymerase from a bacteria that lives in hot springs Cool to allow primers to bind DNA polymerase extends the 3’ end of each primer Multiplies exponentially
20
Southern Blots Hybridization technique that enables researchers to determine the presence of certain nucleotide sequences in a sample of DNA RFLP’s –differences in DNA sequence on homologous chromosomes that result in different patterns of restriction fragment lengths for every species –useful as genetic markers –Inherited following Mendel’s patterns
21
Southern Blots Combination of 5 techniques –Restriction fragment preparation –Electrophoresis –Blotting (DNA bands transferred to nitrocellulose paper) –Hybridization with radioactive probe (attach to gene of interest) –Autoradiography
22

26
Figure 20.10 Restriction fragment analysis by Southern blotting
27
Practical Applications Diagnosis –early detection of disease before symptoms show or even birth –use probes with cloned genes Human gene therapy –traceable genetic disorders –may eventually be correctable –replace defective genes with functional genes –only effective if cells receiving normal allele rapidly reproduce
28

29
Practical Applications Environmental –microorganisms to get rid of waste –mining –recycling of wastes and detoxifying –sewage treatment plants
30
Practical Applications Pharmaceutical products –insulin, growth hormone Forensics –blood and tissue type –RFLP and Southern Blots Agricultural –animal husbandry –cellulase
