Use of Cloned DNA topics include: Promoters, synthesis of rna and proteins, expression in vivo, fusion proteins, gene function and its traping. DNA cloning is used to create multiple copies of a gene or other piece of DNA. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including: Studying genes and their protein products: This can be important in human disease research. Creating genetically modified organisms: These can be used to study human disease, such as knock-out mice. Producing vaccines: For example, the hepatitis B vaccine. Producing transgenic plants: With improved qualities like... Show more
