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 insect and drought resistance and nutritional enrichment. Therapeutic protein production: For example, insulin.
Producing large quantities of therapeutic proteins: Such as insulin, growth hormones, and blood clotting factors. These proteins can then be used to treat genetic diseases, such as diabetes and hemophilia.
