Cell based
Cell free

Gene Library
? All of the DNA extracted from an organism
and digested with a restriction enzyme will
result in a collection of clones. This collection
of clones is known as a gene library
20
Type of gene library
Genomic library: Total chromosomal DNA of organism
cDNA library: represents the mRNA from a cell or tissue
at a specific point in time
Type of gene library depends on final application of DNA
Goal: Production of new or modified proteins or determination
of tissue specific expression and timing pattern
cDNA library
Goal: To understand the control of protein production for a
particular gene
Genomic library
21
Gene Library
? 1. Construction of gene library
? Digesting genomic DNA molecules
? Choice of Enzyme?
? Ligating DNA molecules
? Carried out at 10o C to lower the kinetic energy
and to reduce the chances of sticky ends
parting
? 2. Cloning vectors
? 3. Screening Gene Library
22
Numbers of clones required for representation of DNA
in a genome library
23
Ligation molecules with cohesive ends. Complementary cohesive ends base -pair,
forming a temporary link between two DNA fragments. This association of fragments
is stabilised by the formation of 3' to 5' phosphodiester linkages between cohesive ends,
a reaction catalysed by DNA ligase.

Comparison of general steps in the construction of
genomic and cDNA library
25
Cloning Vector
. DNA elements that may be stably maintained
and propagated in a host organism for which
the vector has replication functions.
. Host organism is a bacterium such as E. coli
. vector with a replication origin in E. coli will
replicate (together with any incorporated
DNA) efficiently

the detection of recombinant vectors.
31
Cosmid vectors
Cosmid vectors incorporate the cos sites from phage l and also
the essential features of a plasmid, such as the plasmid origin
of replication, a gene for drug resistance, and several unique
restriction sites for insertion of the DNA to be cloned.
32
Expression vector
The inserted sequence must be placed so that
its reading frame is in phase with the regulatory sequence
33
Shuttle vectors
? Shuttle vectors have origins of replication for
yeast and bacteria such as E. coli. This means
that constructs may be prepared rapidly in the
bacteria and delivered into yeast for
expression studies.
34
Delivery of vectors into Eukaryotes
? Transfection:
? to deliver recombinant molecules into animal cel s
? 1. making the membrane permeable with
divalent cations / use of polyethylene glycol (PEG)
? 2. electroporation: subjected to pulses of a high-
voltage gradient
? 3. lipofection: DNA is encapsulated by a core of
lipid-coated particles

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism and SNPs
major use of SNPs/RFLPs is in the definition of inherited diseases
in which the functional deficit is unknown
SNPs/RFLPs can be used to establish linkage groups, which in turn,
by the process of chromosome walking,
will eventually define the disease locus

? DNA Footprinting
56
Footprinting with DNase I
? Footprinting enables a control region to be
positioned within a restriction fragment that has
been identified by gel retardation.
? Footprinting works on the basis that the
interaction with a regulatory protein protects the
DNA in the region of a control sequence from the
degradative action of an endonuclease such as
deoxyribonuclease (DNase) I.
? This phenomenon can be used to locate the
protein binding site on the DNA molecule.
57
A bound protein can protect a
region of DNA that is much longer
than the control sequence.

What Mendel found out
? Two parents make equal contribution to the
character
? The effect of an allele is independent of
whether it comes from the female or male
gamete

Summary
? Recombinent DNA is the joining of two fragments cut with same restriction
endonuclease
? Probe is a 15-20 nt long oligonucleotide used to search a particular DNA fragment
? Cloning is a process of producing large number of identical copies from one single
original DNA molecule or fragment
? Type of gene library depends on final application of DNA
? Delivery of vector in bacteria is cal ed transformation and in animal cel s is
transfection
? RFLP is a technique used to identify the individual as wel as to detect disease
condition such as Sickle cel anaemia
? DNA finger printing is to identify the individual based on differential tandem
repeat sequences
? Footprinting works on the basis that the interaction with a regulatory protein
protects the DNA from the degradative action of an endonuclease such as
deoxyribonuclease (DNase) I.
? Genomic imprinting usual y uses DNA methylation (epigenetic regulati on).
