Cloning Genes Is a Multistep Process
The following DNA sequence contains a six-base sequence that is a recognition and cutting site for a restriction enzyme. What is this sequence? Which enzyme will cut this sequence? (See Figure 13.5 for help.)

What advantages do cDNA libraries provide over genomic DNA libraries? Describe cloning applications where the use of a genomic library is necessary to provide information that a cDNA library cannot.
Restriction enzymes and DNA ligase play essential roles in DNA cloning. How is it that a bacterium that produces a restriction enzyme does not cut its own DNA? Describe some general features of restriction sites.
A 10 kb DNA fragment digested with the restriction endonuclease EcoRI yields fragments of 4 kb and 6 kb. When the 10 kb fragment is digested with BamHI, three fragments of 1, 3.5 and 5.5 kb are generated. Digestion with both enzymes yields four fragments of 0.5, 1, 3 and 5.5 kb. Draw the restriction map for the 10 kb fragment based on the data. Label the cut sites for the two enzymes, and the lengths between the cut sites.

- Cloning Genes Is a Multistep Process In cloning human DNA, why is it necessary to insert the DNA into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid?arrow_forwardYou obtained the sequence of the frog gene X you amplified in Question #16 through a process called automated sequencing. In automated sequencing, you are given a printout of the sense strand of your DNA. The first thing you need to do is use the correct reading frame. Having done this, the next thing to do is to write out the mRNA sequence using this sense strand reading frame. The last thing to do is to translate the sequence. a.The reading frame DNA sequence is: b.The mRNA sequence is: c.The polypeptide sequence is: A disease in frogs which causes their tongue to fall out of their mouths is killing the frog population in LA County. You obtain a dead frog and isolate its gene Xf. When you sequence this mutated gene, you find that the last ‘G’ at the end of the first line of this sequence has been deleted (i.e. the G at position 86).

- You’re working in a research lab, and your current task is to clone the gene that codes for tyrosinase from potatoes. You grind up some potato, extracts the DNA from it and digests the DNA with two different restriction enzymes (separately, not together): EcoRI and BamHI. You then obtain the cloning vector, pUC19, and digest it with the same two enzymes. You then run a gel which is shown here. You notice that the cloning vector made nice, tight bands on the gel, but the potato DNA just looks like a smear with no distinct bands. However, this is just what you expected. Explain why there are so many bands. Which enzyme would be the better choice to use for cloning the potato DNA, EcoRI, or BamHI? Explain why? Be specific.arrow_forwardYou want to clone a 6,000 bp DNA fragment in E. coli. Which cloning vectors would be appropriate? How will you select transformants?arrow_forwardFor a molecular cloning experiment using the bacterial strain E. coli K12 is used to insert the gene rspL with pUC19. The first attempt utilized the restriction enzyme BamHI which did not produce any transformations. The second attempt utilized the restriction enzymes BamHI and EcoRI. Why was BamHI used first and what difference did the EcoRI do?arrow_forward

You mix the potato DNA (digested with the enzyme you specified in part B) with cloning vector DNA (digested with the same enzyme).
