  2. Vector (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(molecular_biology)

    These plasmid are generally non-conjugative but may have many more features, notably a "multiple cloning site" where multiple restriction enzyme cleavage sites allow for the insertion of a transgene insert. The bacteria containing the plasmids can generate millions of copies of the vector within the bacteria in hours, and the amplified vectors ...

  3. pBR322 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBR322

    pBR322 is a plasmid and was one of the first widely used E. coli cloning vectors. Created in 1977 in the laboratory of Herbert Boyer at the University of California, San Francisco, it was named after Francisco Bolivar Zapata, the postdoctoral researcher and Raymond L. Rodriguez. The p stands for "plasmid," and BR for "Bolivar" and "Rodriguez."

  4. Animal Farm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm

    Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella, in the form of a beast fable, [1] by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. [2] [3] It tells the story of a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

  5. Cloning vector - Wikipedia

    They are the standard cloning vectors and the ones most commonly used. Most general plasmids may be used to clone DNA inserts of up to 15 kb in size. One of the earliest commonly used cloning vectors is the pBR322 plasmid. Other cloning vectors include the pUC series of plasmids, and a large number of different cloning plasmid vectors are ...

  6. Animal genetic resources for food and agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_genetic_resources...

    The diversity of animal genetic resources includes diversity at species, breed and within-breed level. Known are currently 8,800 different breeds of birds and mammals within 38 species used for food and agriculture. [1] The main animal species used for food and agriculture production are cattle, sheep, goats, chickens and pigs. In the livestock ...

    In the early 1970s it was found that this bacteria inserted its DNA into plants using a Ti plasmid. [9] By removing the genes in the plasmid that caused the tumor and adding in novel genes, researchers were able to infect plants with A. tumefaciens and let the bacteria insert their chosen DNA into the genomes of the plants. [10]

  8. Cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

    The process of cloning a particular farm animal using SCNT is relatively the same for all animals. The first step is to collect the somatic cells from the animal that will be cloned. The somatic cells could be used immediately or stored in the laboratory for later use. [17]

  9. Mobile genetic elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_genetic_elements

    Fitness of a plasmid is determined by its mobility. The first factor of plasmid fitness is its ability to replicate DNA. The second fitness factor is a plasmid's ability to horizontally transfer. Plasmids during their cycle carry genes from one organism to another through a process called conjugation. Plasmids usually contain a set of mobility ...
