DNA bacterial cloning is routinely used to isolate genes and understand gene function, but most bacteria cannot handle a large number of genes at one time. Advertisement In an attempt to increase ...

Molecular cloning is a technique used to create DNA experimental tools that are expressed in either bacterial or mammalian cells. Molecular cloning is defined as the isolation and amplification of ...

Examples of hosts include bacteria, yeast and mammal cells. This method ensures that scientists can work with multiple copies of the specific gene of interest. Gene cloning has allowed labs to develop ...

For example, cloning the gene for human insulin allows us to produce large amounts of insulin in bacteria. Cloning is easier than you might think. If you already have a gene in mind you can look ...

Fosfomycin is produced by various species of bacteria, but generally in low yields. Using a cloning method developed by Illinois microbiologist William W. Metcalf, the researchers were able to ...

Monoclonal antibodies -- treatments developed by cloning a cell that makes an antibody -- could help provide an answer to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, say scientists.
