Enzymes of Genetic Engineering or Recombinant DNA technology

Process of Recombinant DNA Technology is the technique used for making artificial DNA by genetic modification using multiple sources. Process of Recombinant DNA Technology involves extraction of gene followed by cleaving it at special sites. Then it is put in a molecular vector for its setup in host. At last we need an expression system on which vector along with gene of interest is introduced for multiple copies.

How are Plasmids Used in Genetic Engineering? Plasmids are used in genetic engineering to transfer foreign genetic material into different types of cells.

Wageningen University & Research will host the CRISPRcon conference on 20 and 21 June, where experts from all over the world will talk about the future of gene editing: adapting genetic material. Professor John van der Oost receives international praise for his long-standing commitment to CRISPR-Cas.

The global recombinant DNA technology market size reached US$ 729.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 966.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% during 2023-2028.

Restriction Endonucleases enzymes that cleave DNA molecules at specific nucleotide sequences depending on the particular enzyme used. Enzyme recognition sites are usually 4 to 6 base pairs in length. Generally, the shorter the recognition sequence, the greater the number of fragments generated.

Scientists developed Recombinant DNA technology to combine DNA molecules from two or more organisms to create a new molecule of DNA with new genetic combinations.

In the laboratory, restriction enzymes (or restriction endonucleases) are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. The cuts are always made at specific nucleotide sequences. Different restriction enzymes recognise and cut different DNA sequences.
