Isolation, Sequencing and Synthesis of Genes Introduction
Molecular manipulation of specific genes is one of the popular areas of research in biotechnology. These genes, therefore, should be either isolated or artificially synthesized before they are manipulated and used for transformation leading to the production of transgenic animals and plants that are discussed respectively in Chapter 20 and 34-37. the isolated genes are also sometimes sequenced for a better understanding of its structure, that needs to be manipulated. We, therefore, discuss in this chapter the gene technology available for isolation, sequencing and synthesis of specific genes.
