Antibiotic Resistance in Cloning

Description

Antibiotic resistance genes help scientists find bacteria that took up a plasmid with a gene of interest. In genetic engineering, this resistance is used as a marker, not just as a medical concern. The same process also connects to the growing problem of resistant bacteria in the real world.

Anti...

Transcript

Antibiotic selection is a method used to identify bacterial cells that have taken up a plasmid.

A plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule that includes a gene of interest for expression in host cells, along with an antibiotic resistance gene that provides resistance to specific antibiotics.

During transformation, plasmid DNA and bac...
