Lecture 9 Recombinant DNA

Recombinant DNA & Biotechnology


What is recombinant DNA?
DNA molecule made in the laboratory derived from at
least two genetic sources.
How is DNA manipulated?
isolate DNA (from)
- properties of chromosomal DNA (large, acidic)
- properties of vector DNA
digest DNA
- shearing (intentional, unintentional)
- restriction enzymes
GAATTC
CTTAAG
recognition sequences = specific (Why?)
palindromic: same sequence antiparallel

Lecture 9 Recombinant DNA


How is DNA manipulated?
staggered vs blunt (sticky or cohesive)

Libraries

Lecture 9 Recombinant DNA


Libraries
isolate DNA (from)
- genomic

Genomic
- noncoding
- digestion
partial vs complete
- size/representation:
# of clones x insert size
= 10X genome size
- stability
repetitive DNA

mRNA (how do we isolate??)


1. location? (cytoplasm)
2. processing? (poly A tail)
cDNA
- what cells, tissue, organ,
developmental stage?

Oligo dT

- abundance
- how to clone

Identifying recombinant plasmids
How do we identify DNA/RNA clone of interest??
Complementarity!!!
- Southern Blot
- Northern Blot
- sequence analysis

- Run DNA/RNA
- transfer to filter
- hybridize probe to filter
- detect signal

DNA manipulation hybridization
Gene analysis on a global scale - microarrays
1. Array DNA sequences oligonucleotides (what defines a gene)
2. Isolate mRNA - distinct samples
3. Label samples distinct
fluorescent dyes
4. Hybridize to microarray
5. Detect fluorescent signals
expression ratio

- +/- drug, hormone etc
- Wild type vs disease (define diagnostic profiles)
- Genotyping
