The most efficient procedure that scientists can use to obtain more recombinant DNA for a particular trait is to clone the recombinant DNA in a biological vector.
One of the most significant discoveries which allowed the development of recombinant DNA technology was restriction endonuclease. It cut double stranded DNA at specific sequences, by means of which it protects bacteria from viral infection.
