Plan A
• Provide a genuine experience in using cell and molecular biology to learn about a fundamental problem in biology.
• Rather than following a set series of lectures, study a problem and see where it leads us.
• Lectures & presentations will relate to current status
• Some class time will be spent in lab & vice-versa
• we may need to come in at other times as well

Molecular cloning
To identify the types of DNA sequences found within each class they must be cloned
![Page 51: BEGR 424 Molecular Biology William Terzaghi Spring, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f32550346895dbcc551/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Molecular cloning
To identify the types of DNA sequences found within each class they must be cloned
Force host to make millions of copies of a specific sequence
![Page 52: BEGR 424 Molecular Biology William Terzaghi Spring, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f32550346895dbcc551/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Molecular cloning
To identify the types of DNA sequences found within each class they must be cloned
Why?
To obtain enough copies of a specific sequence to work with!
typical genes are 1,000 bp cf haploid human genome is 3,000,000,000 bp
average gene is < 1/1,000,000 of total genome
![Page 53: BEGR 424 Molecular Biology William Terzaghi Spring, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f32550346895dbcc551/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Recombinant DNA
Arose from 2 key discoveries in the 1960's
1) Werner Arber: enzymes which cut DNA at specific sites
called "restriction enzymes” because restrict host range for certain bacteriophage
![Page 54: BEGR 424 Molecular Biology William Terzaghi Spring, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f32550346895dbcc551/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Recombinant DNA
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sites
bacterial” immune system”: destroy “non-self” DNA
![Page 55: BEGR 424 Molecular Biology William Terzaghi Spring, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f32550346895dbcc551/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Recombinant DNARestriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sitesbacterial” immune system”: destroy “non-self” DNAmethylase recognizes same sequence & protects it by methylating it Restriction/modification systems

Recombinant DNA
Restriction enzymes create unpaired "sticky ends” which anneal with any complementary sequence

Recombinant DNA
Arose from 2 key discoveries in the 1960's
1) restriction enzymes
2) Weiss: DNA ligase
-> enzyme which glues
DNA strands together
seals "nicks" in DNA backbone
