what are the materials and equipment needed to carry out this engineering process?
The gene is separated by using restriction enzymes to cut the DNA into fragments to amplify up the gene segment, which can then be extracted through gel electrophoresis.
Genetic engineering
The gene is separated by using restriction enzymes to cut the DNA into fragments or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify up the gene segment. These segments can then be extracted through gel electrophoresis.
what is the purpose for each of the following important techniques used in genetic engineering To change the genetic makeup of cells what is the definition of this branch of science? Direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology. what are the steps involved to execute this engineering process? Either isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using recombinant DNA methods or by artificially synthesising the DNA.

Genetic engineering [SEP] Gene isolation and cloning
The next step is to isolate the candidate gene. The cell containing the gene is opened and the DNA is purified. The gene is separated by using restriction enzymes to cut the DNA into fragments or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify up the gene segment. These segments can then be extracted through gel electrophoresis. If the chosen gene or the donor organism's genome has been well studied it may already be accessible from a genetic library. If the DNA sequence is known, but no copies of the gene are available, it can also be artificially synthesised. Once isolated the gene is ligated into a plasmid that is then inserted into a bacterium.
