These often controversial pieces cover the advance of molecular genetics, the prospect of curing cancer over the next decade, how human genetic knowledge is likely to be used, for good or bad, and Watson's early life and career. Recombinant DNA technology is a technique which changes the phenotype of an organism host when a genetically altered vector is introduced and integrated into the genome of the organism.
So, basically the process involves the introduction of a foreign piece of DNA structure into the genome which contains our gene of interest.
This gene which is introduced is the recombinant gene and the technique is called the recombinant DNA technology. Inserting a desired gene into the genome of the host is not as easy as it sounds. It involves the selection of the desired gene for administration into the host followed by a selection of the perfect vector with which the gene has to be integrated and recombinant DNA formed. This recombinant DNA then has to be introduced into the host. And at last it has to be maintained in the host and carried forward to the offsprings.
The four major types of vectors are plasmids, viral vectors, cosmids, and artificial chromosomes. Of these, the most commonly used vectors are plasmids. Common to all engineered vectors are an origin of replication, a multicloning site, and a selectable marker. The combined power of genetic analysis and recombinant DNA technology to analyse entire genomes has moved biomedical research into a new and revolutionary phase. The complete sequencing and mapping of the human genome, as well as the genomes of other model organisms, will be the basis for our future understanding of human disease, and will allow us to answer fundamental questions about development and evolution.
T The new ICRF Handbook of Genome Analysis is the essential guide to the enormous range of techniques available to the researcher for both the genetic and physical mapping of the genome, as well as the sequencing and analysis of DNA.
It is both a protocol manual and a comprehensive information resource. Written by international experts, each chapter presents a state-of-the-art review of a methodology.
Methods are fully described and evaluated; their advantages and disadvantages discussed; and their suitability for different investigations considered. Step-by-step protocols, including computer analyses, are given for essential experimental procedures. The primary focus is on human genetics and the benefits of an understanding of the genome for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. The book also considers the current state of progress in the analysis of genomes of many model organisms, including plants.
A major part of the work provides detail on Internet resources as well as basic data on human and other genomes, including mapped disease genes and mouse knockouts. Comprehensively revised, updated and rewritten to encompass within one volume, basic and advanced gene manipulation techniques, genome analysis, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics Includes two new chapters on the applications of genomics An accompanying website - www.
An essential reference for upper level undergraduate and graduate students of genetics, genomics, molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology. Known world-wide as the standard introductory text to this important and exciting area, the seventh edition of Gene Cloning and DNA Analysis addresses new and growing areas of research whilst retaining the philosophy of the previous editions.

The genome is the genetic material of an organism, that is, the total amount of DNA in the cell. In eukaryotes, it is usually organized into a set of chromosomes, which are extremely long chains of DNA that are highly condensed. In the picture below, human DNA is shown packaged into chromosome units as seen during mitotic metaphase.
Note the sister chromatids that contain identical daughter DNA molecules , centromeres and telomeres. Recombinant DNA technology, joining together of DNA molecules from two different species that are inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science, medicine, agriculture, and industry.
Since the focus of all genetics is the gene, the fundamental goal of laboratory geneticists is to isolate, characterize, and manipulate genes. Although it is relatively easy to isolate a sample of DNA from a collection of cells, finding a specific gene within this DNA sample can be compared to finding a needle in a haystack.
A gene is a segment of nucleic acid that contains the information necessary to produce a functional product, usually a protein. The genetic analysis of entire genomes is called genomics.
Such a broadscale analysis has been made possible by the development of recombinant DNA technology. In humans, knowledge of the entire genome sequence has facilitated searching for genes that produce hereditary diseases. Genes consist of a long strand of DNA RNA in some viruses that contains a promoter, which controls the activity of a gene, and a coding sequence, which determines what the gene produces.
The book will provide comprehensive knowledge on the principles and concepts of recombinant DNA technology.
