Procedures of gene cloning

A clone refers to a group of organisms, cells or molecules arising from a single individual.The general procedures in gene cloning are:

1. Generation of desired DNA fragments:


via the methods of

insertion of  fragments into a cloning vector

via :
  • Ligation of blunt or cohesive ends 
  • Homopolymer tailing 
  • linker molecules 

Introduction into host cells

via:
  • Transformation 
  • transduction 
  • transfection 

Selection or screening

via:
  • Hybridisation 
  • PCR 
  • immunochemical methods 
  • protein-protein interactions 
  • functionl complementation
