Explain how the gene of interest is amplified invitro during biotechno-logical experiments .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Multiple copies of gene of interest is synthesised invitro using .Polymerase Chain Reaction. (P.C.R) . It is done by using a set of primers and enzyme DNA polumerase. The enzyme extends the primers using the nucleotides provided in the reaction and genomic DNA as template. This process is repeated several times and DNA can be amplified .
