  2. Bacterial genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_genome

    Log-log plot of the total number of annotated proteins in genomes submitted to GenBank as a function of genome size. Based on data from NCBI genome reports.. Bacteria possess a compact genome architecture distinct from eukaryotes in two important ways: bacteria show a strong correlation between genome size and number of functional genes in a genome, and those genes are structured into operons.

  3. DNA extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_extraction

    The first isolation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was done in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher. [1] DNA extraction is the process of isolating DNA from the cells of an organism isolated from a sample, typically a biological sample such as blood, saliva, or tissue. It involves breaking open the cells, removing proteins and other contaminants, and ...

  4. Plasmid preparation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid_preparation

    The most common method is alkaline lysis, which involves the use of a high concentration of a basic solution, such as sodium hydroxide, to lyse the bacterial cells. [15] [16] [17] When bacteria are lysed under alkaline conditions (pH 12.0–12.5) both chromosomal DNA and protein are denatured; the plasmid DNA however, remains stable.

  5. Alkaline lysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_lysis

    Alkaline lysis is the process of isolating plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in bacteria. It is a standard method used in molecular biology to isolate the plasmid without obtaining chromosomal DNA. The first alkaline lysis was performed by Birnom and Doly in 1979. [ 1 ]

  6. Agarose gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agarose_gel_electrophoresis

    Estimation of the DNA concentration by comparing the intensity of the nucleic acid band with the corresponding band of the size marker. [34] Analysis of products of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), e.g., in molecular genetic diagnosis or genetic fingerprinting; Separation of DNA fragments for extraction and purification.

  7. Acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_guanidinium...

    RNA partitions in the aqueous phase, while proteins and DNA partition into the organic/interphase (left). The RNA is then precipitated in an alcohol (right). Acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction (abbreviated AGPC) is a liquid–liquid extraction technique in biochemistry and molecular biology.

  8. Genomic DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_DNA

    Most organisms have the same genomic DNA in every cell; however, only certain genes are active in each cell to allow for cell function and differentiation within the body. [2] gDNA predominantly resides in the cell nucleus packed into dense chromosome structures. Chromatin refers to the combination of DNA and proteins that make up chromosomes.

  9. Molecular cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cloning

    Molecular cloning takes advantage of the fact that the chemical structure of DNA is fundamentally the same in all living organisms. Therefore, if any segment of DNA from any organism is inserted into a DNA segment containing the molecular sequences required for DNA replication, and the resulting recombinant DNA is introduced into the organism from which the replication sequences were obtained ...
