Chapter 8, Problem 4SA
Summary Introduction

To answer:

What a gene library is and its uses.

Introduction:

Recombinant DNA technology involves the isolation of genetic materials (DNA) from donor organisms (human, plant, or microorganism) and inserts them into recipient organisms, after genetic manipulation. This technology is used to introduce a genetically modified organism (GMO). The main goals of this technology are to provide (i) elimination of undesirable phenotypic traits in organisms, (ii) creation of new organisms by combining two or more beneficial traits of donor organisms, and (iii) synthesis of beneficial products by the new organism for human needs.
