Selection of vector:• Vector is a vehicle that carries
desired gene into host cell. Depending on host cell vectors like plasmids or phages are selected.
Gene splicing: • Incorporation of desired gene into
vector to develop r-DNA is called gene splicing.
• The REN is used to cut the vector at specific restricted site to insert desired gene. Later it is ligated by DNA ligase.
• The vector with desired gene is called r-DNA.

Transfer of r-DNA into host cell: • The bacterial cell ( host cell) and r-DNA are
made to suspend in cold (5-6 0C ) calcium chloride solution. After some interval of time, the temp of solution is suddenly raised to 42 0C and again cooled.
• The increase in temperature increases the pore size of bacterial membrane. Through this pore r-DNA enters the bacterial cell .

Human insulin• Insulin is a protein natured hormone that
maintains sugar metabolism. It converts the excess of blood sugar (glucose) into glycogen to maintain normal sugar level.
• This hormone is secreted by β-cells of islets of Langerhans present in pancreas.
• The deficiency of insulin increases the blood sugar level and causes diabetes mellitus.

• The diabetic patients are treated with hypoglycemic oral drug or insulin injection.
• The oral drug stimulates the β–cells to secrete insulin.
• In previous years insulin extracted from cows and pigs are injected to control diabetic condition. It causes allergy to most of the patients.
• The r-DNA technology gives solution to overcome this problem by producing human insulin (humulin) using human insulin producing gene.

• The principle is based on matching of VNTRs of DNA collected at crime spot with suspect person DNA.
• VNTRs: Variable number of tandem repeats. It is also called as mini satellites.
• The identical and repeated sequence of nucleotides present adjacent to each other in DNA is called VNTRs.
• VNTRs are very specific to individual and differs from person to person. It shows some similarities between family members.
• VNTRs of identical twins are same. Hence it is not possible to identify individuality in identical twins by DNA finger printing technology.

In cattle's it is applied to develop a hybrid in such a way that,1. To increase the capacity of milk production.2. To increase lactation period up to 10 months.3. To increase reproductive capacity.4. To develop resistance to disease.5. To make them to adopt tropical and sub-tropical
climates.• Artificial insemination: it is injecting the semen of
desired bull into female reproductive tract mechanically.• Cryopreservation: It is preservation of semen in liquid
nitrogen at -70 C to -196 C. The frozen semen can be stored up to 20 years.

Advantage of artificial insemination.• The semen collected from single ejaculation of
bull can be inseminated to five hundred cows.• The semen can transmitted easily than
transporting bull.• The frozen semen can be stored upto 20 years.
Hence there is no need of maintaining large bull yard.

MOET - multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (OR) SOET - super ovulation and embryo transfer.
• Super ovulation is the technique in which female cow is forced to release large number of ovum by injecting Follicle stimulating hormone.
• Embryo transfer is a technique of transferring eight cell stage embryo to surrogate mother for further development.

• Steps involved in SOET or MOET.
• Estrus synchronization: The donor and surrogate mother cows are artificially made to have same reproductive stage. It is done by injecting gonado tropic hormone.
• Super ovulation: The follicle stimulating hormone is injected to donor cow to release large number of eggs.

• Artificial insemination: The super Ovulated donor cow is artificially inseminated by desired bull semen.
• Embryo recovery: After fertilization eight cell embryos are recovered for further development by surgical or non-surgical method.

• Embryo transfer: The collected embryos are transferred to surrogate mother cow uterus for further development.
• By this technique desired breed yard can be increased in short period.

• IVF- ET : Invitro fertilization and embryo transfer:
• In this technique superovulated ovum are collected and fertilized in laboratory condition.
• The fertilized ovum are incubated to develop into eight cell stage.
• These embryos are transferred to surrogate mother for further development.

Stem cells:• The undifferentiated cells that have the ability
to undergo mitosis and differentiation in to tissue are called stem cells.
• The two types of stem cells are1. embryonic stem cells 2. Adult stem cells.• The inner masses of cells of blastula are
embryonic stem cells.• The bone marrow cells, placental cells are the
adult stem cells.

Application of stem cell culture:• Cultured stem cells are used to differentiate into
different types of cells like liver cells, nerve cells, muscle cells and blood cells etc.
• The differentiated tissue cells are used to treat nervous disorders like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease spinal cord injury, etc. muscular destropy, cardiovascular disorders are also treated.
• Cultured stem cells are used in genetic modification.
• Stem cells are used to repair damage defective tissue.

Hazards of biotechnology.• Genetic engineering may develop new pathogen• Genetically modified microbes may use as biological
weapons.• Many transgenic food causes allergy in few people.• BT toxin transgenic plants kills and decreases the
population of different useful insects.• Genetically modified crop plants for resistance to
weedicide can cross naturally with weeds. It becomes difficult to control weeds.
• Wide spread of transgenic plants depletes the agriculture biodiversity.
• Animal genes transferred to crop plants arises ethical and religious problems.

Safeguard of genetic engineering.• Strict laboratory procedure should follow in
biotechnology labs.• Genetically engineered microbes are crippled in
such a way that they cannot survive outside the laboratory condition.
• The permission from r-DNA advisor committee is taken to undergo genetic work.
• The permission from genetic engineering committee is taken to release genetically modified organism.
• Human cloning and transgenic human experiments should be banned.
