Lecture, chapter 13 - Cloning and recombinant DNA technology

Following with the chapter on recombinant DNA and cloning...

We discussed how to make a genomic DNA library, using vectors like bacterial plasmids, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs).

We covered the basics of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We talked about the ingredients necessary for performing it, the steps, and some of the possible applications of this method.
