Gene Machine

Cards (4)

  • Gene Machine
    DNA fragments created in a lab using computerised machine
    • Examine the protien, identify the amino acid sequence to work out mRNA and DNA sequence
    • DNA sequence entered into the computer, checking biosafety and biosecurity, being safe and ethical
    • Creates small sections of overlapping single strands of nucleotides called oligonucleutides
  • Oligonucleutides
    Single stands of nucleotides that can be joined to create DNA for the entire gene
  • PCR can amplify the quantity to make the double stranded DNA
  • Gene Machine is very quick and accurate, making intron free DNA that can be transcribed in prokaryotic cells
