This systematically designed laboratory manual elucidates a number of techniques which help the students carry out various experiments in the field of genetic engineering. The book explains the methods for the isolation of DNA and RNA as well as electrophoresis techniques for DNA, RNA and proteins. It discusses DNA manipulation by restriction digestion and construction of recombinant DNA by ligation. Besides, the book focuses on various methodologies for DNA transformation and molecular hybridization. While discussing all these techniques, the book puts emphasis on important techniques such as DNA isolation from Gram positive bacteria including Bacillus sp., the slot-lysis electrophoresis technique which is useful in DNA profile analysis of both Gram negative and positive bacteria, plasmid transduction in Bacillus sp., and the conjugal transfer of plasmid DNA in cyanobacteria, Bacillus and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of biotechnology for their laboratory courses in genetic engineering. Besides, it will be useful for the students specializing in genetic engineering, molecular biology and molecular microbiology. KEY FEATURES : Includes about 60 different experiments. Contains several figures to reinforce the understanding of the techniques discussed. Gives useful information about preparation of stock solutions, DNA/protein conversions, restriction enzymes and their recognition sequences, and so on in Appendices.
Techniques in Genetic Engineering
Although designed for undergraduates with an interest in molecular biology, biotechnology, and bioengineering, this book-Techniques in Genetic Engineering-IS NOT: a laboratory manual; nor is it a textbook on molecular biology or biochemistry. There is some basic information in the appendices about core concepts such as DNA, RNA, protein, genes, and
Genetic Engineering
The primary motive for compiling and publishing this manual was to provide scientists, researchers, and students from national agricultural research systems, universities, and small private companies in developing countries, as well as advanced research institutions in the developed world, with a useful guide on the protocols currently in use in genetic engineering. This manual is intended to introduce you to some of the most widely used experimental procedures in biotechnology, including DNA isolation, manipulation, and cloning. You will also gain some familiarity with some of the types of equipment frequently used in biochemistry and molecular biology.The objective of this laboratory course is to provide you with hands-on experience in some of the basic, but essential laboratory skills required in molecular biology and biotechnology. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the concepts behind designing and implementing controlled experiments. The genetic engineering laboratory, like all laboratory courses, is an exploration of procedures. This means that, in order to get full benefit from the course, you will need to read the Manual; this reading will provide background information and an outline of the procedures to be performed. If you do not do this, you will find yourself wasting large amounts of class time, and annoying both your lab partners and your instructor. To encourage your understanding of the material, you will have problem sets that cover material related to the planned experiments. The genetic engineering laboratory is conducted as a “directed” research project. This means that although the general procedures are well established, the overall goal of each experiment is the acquisition of new information. Because of the nature of scientific research, predicting the outcome of experiments that have not previously been performed is difficult. It may therefore be necessary to design new experiments based on the results of previous ones, or to repeat experiments that yielded ambiguous results. On the other hand, if you approach the course will an open and flexible mindset, you will learn how research is performed in a genetic engineering laboratory.
