As you learned in this chapter,restriction enzymes are sophisticated“scissors” that geneticistsand molecular biologists routinelyuse to cut DNA for recombinant DNAexperiments. A wide variety of onlinetools assist scientists working with restrictionenzymes and manipulating recombinantDNA for different applications. Herewe explore Webcutter and Primer3, twosites that make recombinant DNA experimentsmuch easier.Exercise I – Creating a RestrictionMap in WebcutterSuppose you had cloned and sequenceda gene and you wanted to design a probeapproximately 600 bp long that could beused to analyze expression of this gene indifferent human tissues by Northern blotanalysis. Internet sites such as Webcuttermake it relatively easy to design experimentsfor manipulating recombinant DNA.In this exercise, you will use Webcutter tocreate a restriction map of human DNAwith the enzymes EcoRI, BamHI, and PstI.1.

The Tm of primers is critical to PCR design. For the primers belowwhich has the lower Tm ? Why? Choose one primer and one reason a.CGATOGTACGATCGTAGCATCGAb. TGO CGATGCTACGAT c. The primer is longer, therefore the Tm is lower due hydrogen bonds. d. The GC is higher (has more GC base pairs ) therefore the TM is lower due more hydrogen e. The AT content is higher has more AT )the Tm is lower due to more hydrogen bonds f. The primer is shorter and therefore has fewer hydrogen bonds
