DNA: A Bridge Between Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Description

The last two decades of cloned-DNA sequence studies have revealed detailed knowledge about gene structure and organization. It has provided insight into regulatory pathways, with the aid of which gene expression is controlled by the cells, especially in those organisms with basic vertebrae structure. Recombinant DNA technology engineers microbial cells for producing foreign proteins. Its success solely depends on the precise reading of equivalent genes made with the help of bacterial cell machinery. This process fuels many advances related to modern molecular biology The nucleus is the most prominent organelle in a cell. It contains the equivalent of the cell‘s genetic material or DNA. DNA determines the cell‘s identity, masterminds its activities, and has the blueprint for the body‘s proteins. Replication of DNA in cell division is an significant step. It is very accurate, nucleotide by nucleotide and there is no scope for mistakes, even if they are made, they are immediately corrected or repaired, so as to avoid serious consequences. This book explores topics related to DNA and its replication, biochemistry of cells and the use of biotechnology in DNA sequencing and cloning. It is ideal for students scientists and researchers.
