Transformation• All of the previous steps were
performed in vitro. • We have generated a very small
amount of a recombinant plasmid• Need to amplify in bacteria to get
enough to work with. • Transformation – process to
mobilize DNA into bacterial host• Select for transformed bacteria
on specific antibiotic that corresponds to the antibiotic resistance gene present on the plasmid
How to produce a recombinant protein
10 to 70% of cellular protein
0.1 to 1% of
cellular protein
cDNA
cDNA Library
cDNA
DNA hydridization screening for specific gene
•Requires that you know something about the gene sequence•Can get sequence information form purified protein

Genetic Modification of Higher Organisms
• Can introduce gene into animals and plants
• These modified organism are powerful research tools to study the effect of a specific gene product on metabolism, development etc….
• Has also been used to develop improved agricultural products
