New Developments or Research in Genetic Cloning


Genetic cloning is one of the many aspects which has been recently
introduced to improve our quality of live. Researchers are trying to improve
our lives everyday applying genetic engineering onto our everyday lives. Cows
can be genetically altered to produce more milk, receptors in our body could be
cloned to improve our health. The techniques and new research reported in this
paper is just ...

amplifies the chosen
segment of DNA in the test tube without the need for living cells.

In this process, the DNA sequence to be amplified is selected by primers,
which are short pieces of nucleic acid that correspond to sequences flanking the
DNA to be amplified. After an excess of primers is added to the DNA, together
with a heat-stable DNA polymerase, the strands of both the genomic DNA and the
primers are separated by heating and allowed to cool. A heat-stable polymerase
lengthens the primers on either strand, therefore generating two new, identical
double-stranded DNA molecules and doubling the number of DNA fragments.
