Chapter 20, Problem 28PDQ

Summary Introduction

To determine: The techniques which scientists can use to determine if a particular transgene has been integrated into the genome of an organism.

Introduction: Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology has made it possible to directly manipulate genes in vivo using different techniques to learn more about gene function in living organisms. The modification of gene of interest and its reinsertion into an organism of the same species or a gene from an individual of one species is inserted into another species; these both approaches will result in the transgenic organism.
