1. Biotechnology Flashcards
is the production of recombinant DNA molecule that is self-perpetuating
cloning
the strategy is to clone a gene into a vector that will readily be taken up and incorporated into the genome of a host
Gene therapy
disease that may be tx with gene therapy
adenosine deaminase deficiency
chronic granulomatous disease
hemophilia
probe binds to specific gene site of interest
specific localization of genes and direct visualization of anomalies at molecular level
Fluorescence in situ hybridization
rapid immunologic technique testing for antigen-antbody reactivity
ELISA
disease that may be diagnosed with FISH
Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) Cat cry syndrome (5p deletion) Chronic myelogenous leukemia (translocation 9:22)
thousands of nuclei acid sequences are arranged in grids on glass and silicon
DNA or RNA probes are hybdridized to the chip and a scanner detects the relative amounts of complementary binding
measures many mRNA levels at once and detecs genomic changes
microarrays
southern blot
sample
probe
sample : DNA
probe: cDNA
northern blot
sample
probe
sample : RNA
probe: cDNA
western blot
sample
probe
sample : protein
probe: antibody
used to determine which restriction fragments of DNA are associated with a particular gene
Southern blot
molecular biology lab procedure that is used to synthesize many copies of desired fragment DNA
PCR
used to deduce original sequence of DNA
Dideoxynucleotides halt DNA polymerization at each base generating sequences of various lengths that encompass the entire sequence
sanger DNA sequencing
