BIO374H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Brca1, Cloning, Silent Mutation
Document Summary
Selective breeding: experiment done in boston: a zebra sh with no black pigment and one zebra sh with no re ective pigment were bred. The breed originated was used to see the migration of cancer cells in the body (cell migration tracking). The breed was transparent and the tutor cells were orescent. Agricultural technology: same approach as selective breeding to crested speci c type of food. Genetically modi ed potatoes: will come back in the future in detail for now just now that gm stands for genetically modi ed. Recombinant dna technology: take the gene of interest and use the bacteria to manufacture the protein of interest. Main structure of a biotechnology includes the following two. Bioinformatics: use of computer science to study science such as coding. Molecular-biology: uses genetic engineering to nd out an answer. Can adjust the vector or other outside factors such ad the petri dish or the fermenter to produce the recombinant protein.
