Extract the required gene.
Extract plasmid from bacterial cells.
An enzyme is used to cut open the plasmid.
Insert the required gene into the plasmid and use another enzyme to seal it back together.
Insert plasmid into host bacterial cell to produce genetically modified (GM) organisms.
Bacterial cells multiply and produce duplicates of the plasmid.
