Lecture, chapter 13 - Intro to cloning and recombinant DNA technology

Today we finished chapter 13, an introduction to the use of recombinant DNA technology.

We talked about how to clone DNA in vitro, through PCR, and how to analyze DNA that has been cloned, mainly with the techniques Southern blotting and automated DNA sequencing.

Tomorrow: We will finish the chapter on mutation (ch 11).

And now, honoring Kyle and Jackie's request, I introduce you to the cheesiest, geekiest, funniest, and learnyousomethingest song: The PCR song...!
