Molecular Cloning
Molecular Cloning is a molecular biology technique used to make copies of DNA fragments. The process involves cutting DNA into smaller sections, which are then inserted into replicable vectors, such as a plasmid. The process allows scientists to study the structure and function of a gene, to create large amounts of a gene for practical use and exploitation of the gene for a variety of applications. Molecular Cloning is used in biotechnology, biomedical research, drug discovery, and agricultural biotechnology. By employing this technique, scientists can replicate and modify genetic material in a variety of ways, which can lead to the development of new drugs, vaccines and other medical treatments.
