Abstract
Analysis and manipulation of DNA is fundamental to understand gene function and expression. Gene cloning is a routine and versatile technique for molecular biology, allowing isolation, amplification, and production of recombinant DNA molecules. Here, we provide an overall process, various types, and applications of gene cloning. This concise guide will be useful for researchers who are unfamiliar with gene cloning, focusing on key principles and experimental considerations for efficient DNA analysis.
期刊介绍:
Molecules and Cells is an international on-line open-access journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. It was launched in 1990 and ISO abbreviation is "Mol. Cells". Reports on a broad range of topics of general interest to molecular and cell biologists are published. It is published on the last day of each month by the Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology.
