Genetic Technology
- Gel electrophoresis is a lab method used to seprate mixtures of DNA, RNA or proteins according to size. The molecules are pushed by an electrical field through a gel that contains small pores.
- Using recombinant DNA, scientist join together DNA from different species that are inserted into a host to produce new gene combinations.
- Restriction enzymes are enzymes that are used to cut a DNA molecule at a particular place. They are useful recombinant DNA technology.
- The Human Genome Project was a research project with the goal of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome.
- DNA fingerprinting is a forensic technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA.
