15.1 Personal DNA Testing
• Personal DNA testing companies identify a person’s unique array of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) – some of which are related to risk of diseases such as Alzheimer’s
• Personal genetic testing may soon revolutionize medicine by allowing physicians to customize treatments on the basis of an individual’s genetic makeup

15.2 Cloning DNA
• Researchers use restriction enzymes to cut up DNA, then bond the fragments together using DNA ligase
• Fragments with complementary tails (“sticky ends”) stick together when their matching tails base-pair
• restriction enzyme • Bacterial enzyme used to cut specific nucleotide
sequences in DNA
![Page 7: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Recombinant DNA
• DNA fragments from different organisms combine to make a hybrid molecule: recombinant DNA
• recombinant DNA • A DNA molecule that contains genetic material from more
than one organism

cDNA Cloning
• Researchers who study eukaryotic genes and their expression work with mRNA transcripts of genes
• RNA can’t be cloned directly – reverse transcriptase, a viral enzyme, is used to transcribe single-stranded RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) for cloning
![Page 26: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key Terms
• reverse transcriptase • A viral enzyme that uses mRNA as a template to make a
strand of cDNA

15.3 From Haystacks to Needles
• DNA libraries are sets of cells that host cloned DNA fragments• A genomic library collectively contains all DNA in a
genome• A cDNA library contains only those genes being expressed
at the time the mRNA was harvested
• DNA libraries and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) help researchers isolate particular DNA fragments
![Page 33: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Key Terms
• DNA library • Collection of cells that host different fragments of foreign
DNA, often representing an organism’s entire genome
• genome • An organism’s complete set of genetic material
![Page 34: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Isolating Genes
• Researchers use probes that match a targeted DNA sequence to identify cells with a specific DNA fragment
• A probe mixed with DNA from a library base-pairs with (hybridizes to) the targeted gene
• Base pairing between nucleic acids from different sources is called nucleic acid hybridization
![Page 35: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Key Terms
• probe • Short fragment of DNA labeled with a tracer such as a
radioactive isotope• Designed to hybridize with a nucleotide sequence of
interest
• nucleic acid hybridization • Base-pairing between DNA or RNA from different sources
![Page 36: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

D A probe is added to the liquid bathing the paper. The probe hybridizes (base-pairs) with the spots of DNA that contain complementary base sequences.
C The paper is soaked in a solution that ruptures the cells and releases their DNA. The DNA clings to the paper in spots mirroring the distribution of colonies.
B A piece of special paper pressed onto the surface of the growth medium will bind some cells from each colony.
A Individual bacterial cells from a DNA library are spread over the surface of a solid growth medium. The cells divide repeatedly and form colonies—clusters of millions of genetically identical descendant cells.
E The bound probe makes a spot. Here, one radioactive spot darkens x-ray film. The position of the spot is compared to the positions of the original bacterial colonies. Cells from the colony that made the spot are cultured, and the DNA they contain is harvested.

PCR
• The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) uses primers and heat-resistant DNA polymerase to mass-produce a particular section of DNA without having to clone it in living cells
• polymerase chain reaction (PCR) • Method that rapidly generates many copies of a specific
section of DNA
• primer • Short, single strand of DNA designed to hybridize with a
DNA fragment
![Page 40: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Multiplication by PCR
• PCR can be used on any sample of DNA with at least one molecule of a target sequence
• Essentially any sample containing DNA can be used, even one sperm, a hair left at a crime scene, or a mummy
• Each cycle of a PCR reaction doubles the number of copies of a section of DNA – thirty cycles can make a billion copies

15.4 DNA Sequencing
• DNA sequencing reveals the order of bases in DNA
• The entire genomes of several organisms have now been sequenced
• DNA sequencing• Method of determining the order of nucleotides in DNA• DNA polymerase partially replicates a DNA template• Produces a mixture of DNA fragments of different lengths• Fragments are separated by electrophoresis
![Page 55: Chapter 15 Biotechnology (Sections 15.1 - 15.5)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/568132af550346895d99654c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Electrophoresis
• Electrophoresis separates fragments by length into bands • Electric field pulls DNA fragments through semisolid gel• Fragments of different sizes move at different rates• Shorter fragments move through the gel faster than longer
fragments do

5 Steps in DNA Sequencing1. Sequencing depends on dideoxynucleotides to terminate DNA
replication – each is labeled with a colored pigment

5 Steps in DNA Sequencing
2. DNA polymerase uses a section of DNA as a template to synthesize new strands of DNA – synthesis of each new strand stops when a dideoxynucleotide with a tracer is added
3. At the end of the reaction, the mixture contains many incomplete copies of the original DNA

5 Steps in DNA Sequencing
4. Electrophoresis separates DNA fragments into bands according to length – all DNA strands in each band end with the same dideoxynucleotide, and are the same color
5. A computer detects and records the color of successive bands on the gel – the order of colors represents the sequence of the template DNA

The Human Genome Project
• The human genome consists of about 3 billion bases
• Hoping to patent the sequence, Craig Venter’s company, Celera Genomics, invented faster methods of sequencing genomic DNA using supercomputers
• By 2003, the human genome sequence was completed – but governments decided the sequence could not be patented
