Recombinant DNA technology Flashcards
Proteomics
Analysing all expressed proteins in a cell
Transcriptomics
Analysing all expressed genes in a cell
Pharmacogenomics
Development of personalised medicines
Comparative genomics
Comparing gene structure and function between organisms to fauna deeper understanding of human evolution
Paleogenomics
Studying ancient DNA sequences to understand evolution
Epigenomics
Studying epigenetic changes in the human genome
Epigenetics
The study of heritable genetic changes that regulate gene expression but that do not effect the DNA sequence
Bioinformatics
The use of computers to store, share and analyse data related to gene structure, sequence and expression
Recombinant DNA technology
A technique that allows DNA from different sources to be combines
Recombinant DNA
DNA comprised of two or more DNA molecules from different sources
Molecular cloning
The process of making multiple copies of a DNA molecule (gene)
Plasmid
Circular form of self replicating DNA
Plasmids used to create vectors
Pieces of DNA that can accept carry and replicate other pieces of DNA
Transformation
Method of inserting DNA into bacteria
Selection
Way to indentify bacteria which have taken up plasmid
