About the lecture:
An Inter Departmental Guest lecture was delivered by L.M.VINATHI PRIYADARSHINI , HOD, Dept. of Biotech, for students of III year about the concept of GENE CLONING.
Mrs .Vinathi discussed about the DNA cloning in detail that how The plasmid is introduced into bacteria via a process called transformation, and bacteria carrying the plasmid are selected using antibiotics.
She said, DNA cloning is a molecular biology technique that makes many identical copies of a piece of DNA, such as a gene.
In a typical cloning experiment, a target gene is inserted into a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid.
Bacteria with the correct plasmid are used to make more plasmid DNA or, in some cases, induced to express the gene and make protein.
Students asked their queries about the modern technique and its application in agriculture from the speaker. At the end of the lecture, K.Vanitha kumari HoD thanked the speaker for imparting fruitful knowledge to students about the important aspects of gene cloning.
