Nucleic Acid Extraction and Electrophoresis

Flashcards covering key concepts from the lecture on nucleic acid extraction and electrophoresis.

Recombinant DNA Techniques

Techniques that provide the tools to study the genetics of any organism by isolating DNA from any specific gene.

Recombinant DNA Technology

A principle where a specific gene can be isolated and produced in large quantities through cloning, with its genetic information determined by sequencing.

In Vitro Mutagenesis

A method used to analyze gene functions by making specific alterations to genetic information before reintroducing the mutated DNA into the organism.

PCR

Polymerase Chain Reaction, a technique used for amplifying DNA segments, now somewhat obsolete in isolation and cloning due to newer technologies.

NGS

Next Generation Sequencing, a modern method for determining the sequence of an entire genome quickly.
