Ch. 20: Biotechnology
What is biotechnology? Biotechnology uses living organisms or their gene%c content to make useful products, such as GMOs 5
Overview Sequencing of the human genome was completed by 2007. DNA sequencing has depended on advances in technology, star%ng with making recombinant DNA. 6

A. Recombinant DNA and Cloning 1. Plasmids 2. Gene Cloning 3. Eukaryo%c Gene Cloning in a Bacterial Plasmid 11
1. Plasmid Plasmids = small circular DNA molecules that replicate separately from the bacterial chromosome. This makes them useful to scien%sts to clone, transfer, and manipulate genes! They can insert pieces of DNA (genes) into a plasmid, and then have the bacterium replicate the gene rapidly! Cloned genes are useful for making copies of a par%cular gene and producing a protein product. 12

2. Gene Cloning c. Restric%on Fragments A restric4on enzyme usually makes many cuts, yielding restric4on fragments. 25
d. S%cky Ends 2. Gene Cloning Both the plasmid DNA and gene of interest should be cut with the same restric4on enzyme(s) in order to create complementary s4cky ends 26

DNA cloning allows researchers to Compare genes and alleles between individuals. Locate gene expression in a body. Determine the role of a gene in an organism. Several techniques are used to analyze the DNA of genes: Gel Electrophoresis, restric1on fragment analysis, Southern blogng, DNA sequencing. 40
III. DNA Technology and the Study of Genes A. Gel Electrophoresis B. Restric%on Fragment Analysis C. Gene%c Engineering 41
A. Gel Electrophoresis One indirect method of rapidly analyzing and comparing genomes is gel electrophoresis. This technique uses a gel as a molecular sieve to separate nucleic acids or proteins by size. A current is applied, and charged molecules move through the gel and are sorted into bands by their size 42

Gel Electrophoresis TECHNIQUE Mixture of DNA molecules of different sizes Cathode Power source Anode + 1 Gel Power source + Longer molecules 2 Shorter molecules RESULTS
Gel Electrophoresis Once you run a gel, you can visualize the DNA bands You can use a DNA ladder/marker to determine the base pair lengths We can then use this data to create a restric%on map 46
Example Let s say the enzymes BglII and BstEII together produce two fragments of 6008 and 1658 base pairs 47
EcoRV cuts twice: 4729 & 2937 segments 48
If EcoRV and BgIII are put together We get three fragments: 4729, 1992, and 945 bps So BglII must have made a cut between the first and second EcoRY segments 49
Key When making a restric%on map, it some%mes helps to first start with cuts made by one restric%on enzyme, then adding other enzymes as you go 50
B. Restric%on Fragment Analysis = DNA fragments produced by restric4on enzyme diges4on of a DNA molecule are sorted by gel electrophoresis. Restric%on fragment analysis is useful for comparing two different DNA molecules, such as two alleles for a gene. The procedure is also used to prepare pure samples of individual fragments. 51
B. Restric%on Fragment Analysis RFLP = Restric4on fragment length polymorphism = differences in restric4on fragment lengths in individuals Can be used as molecular markers Each individual will have unique DNA and their restric%on fragments will be unique as well By running a gel, we can create a DNA fingerprint, which are olen used in forensic science Can also be used as markers to iden%fy par%cular groups of people at risk for certain gene%c disorders 52

C. Gene%c Engineering 2. Stem cells A stem cell is a rela%vely unspecialized cell that can reproduce itself indefinitely and differen%ate into specialized cells of one or more types. Stem cells isolated from early embryos at the blastocyst stage are called embryonic stem cells; these are able to differen%ate into all cell types. The adult body also has stem cells, which replace nonreproducing specialized cells. 57
