Golden Rice
 Rice plants with added genes make and store
beta carotene

GMOs and Transgenic Organisms
 Transgenic
• An organism that has been genetically modified
with genes from a different species
 Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
• Organism whose genome has been modified by
genetic engineering
10.2 Finding Needles in Haystacks
 Gene research was limited until enzymes
produced by bacteria to cut viral DNA were
discovered
 Restriction enzyme
• Enzyme that cuts DNA at specific base sequences
• Used in DNA cloning to cut DNA into pieces that
are inserted into cloning vectors
DNA Cloning
 DNA cloning mass-produces DNA fragments for
research
 DNA cloning
• Set of procedures that uses living cells to make
many identical copies of a DNA fragment
 Clone
• A genetically identical copy of DNA, a cell, or an
organism
Cloning Vectors
 Cloning vector
• A DNA molecule that can accept foreign DNA,
resulting in a hybrid molecule that can be
transferred to a host cell, and get replicated in it
 Plasmid
• A small, circular DNA molecule in bacteria,
replicated independently of the chromosomes
• A cloning vector
Recombinant DNA
 Recombinant DNA molecules are introduced into
host cells such as bacteria, which copy the DNA
as they divide
 Recombinant DNA
• Contains genetic material from more than one
organism
Making Recombinant DNA
1. A restriction enzyme recognizes specific base
sequences in DNA from two different sources
2. Restriction enzymes cut DNA into fragments
with single-stranded tails (“sticky ends”)
3. DNA fragments from different sources are mixed
together; matching sticky ends base-pair
4. DNA ligase joins fragments, forming
recombinant DNA

The use of mRNA for the
Identification of DNA
• mRNA sequence comes from specific
regions of DNA (Genes)
• mRNA sequence is used to make proteins
and defines the physical/behavioral
characteristics of the organism
• Therefore we use mRNA to identify active
regions of DNA
• Use mRNA sequence and base pairing
rules to identify DNA original sequence
cDNA Cloning
 RNA cannot be cloned directly; reverse
transcriptase is used to copy single-stranded
RNA into cDNA for cloning
 Reverse transcriptase
• Viral enzyme that uses mRNA as a template to
make a strand of DNA
 cDNA
• DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the
enzyme reverse transcriptase

transcriptase transcribes

Libraries
 A library is a collection of cells that host different
fragments of DNA, often representing an
organism’s entire genome
 Researchers make DNA libraries to isolate one
gene from the many other genes in a genome
 Genome
• An organism’s complete set of genetic material
Nucleic Acid Hybridization
 Probes are used to identify one clone that hosts
a DNA fragment of interest among many other
clones in a DNA library
 Probe
• Short fragment of DNA labeled with a tracer
• Hybridizes with a specific nucleotide sequence
 Nucleic acid hybridization
• Base-pairing between DNA or RNA from different
sources
PCR
 PCR quickly mass-produces copies of a
particular DNA fragment for study
 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
• Uses primers and heat-resistant DNA polymerase
to rapidly generate many copies of a DNA
fragment
 Primer
• Short, single-strand of DNA designed to hybridize
with a DNA fragment
Steps in PCR
1. Starting material is mixed with DNA polymerase,
nucleotides and primers
2. Mixture is heated and cooled in cycles
• At high temperature, DNA unwinds
• At low temperature, primers base-pair with
template DNA
3. Taq polymerase synthesizes complementary
DNA strands on templates
1 DNA template (blue) is mixed with
primers (red), nucleotides, and heattolerant Taq DNA polymerase.

10.3 Studying DNA
 Short tandem repeats are multiple copies of a
short DNA sequence that follow one another
along a chromosome
 The number and distribution of short tandem
repeats, unique in each individual, is revealed
by electrophoresis as a DNA fingerprint
DNA Fingerprinting
 DNA fingerprinting is used in forensics, court
evidence, and other applications
 DNA fingerprint
• An individual’s unique array of short tandem
repeats
 Electrophoresis
• Used to separate DNA fragments by size

 Automated DNA sequencing and PCR enabled
scientists to sequence the more than 3 billion
bases of the human genome
 Sequencing
• Method of determining the order of nucleotides in
DNA
Sequencing a Fragment of DNA
 The order of colors is the order of DNA bases (A,
T, G, C)
Genomics
 Analysis of the human genome sequence is
yielding new information about human genes
and how they work
 Genomics
• The study of genomes (structural genomics,
comparative genomics)

10.4 Genetic Engineering
 Recombinant DNA technology and genome
analysis are the basis of genetic engineering
 Genetic engineering is the directed alteration of
an individual’s genome, resulting in a genetically
modified organism (GMO)
 Genetic engineering
• Process by which deliberate changes are
introduced into an individual’s genome
Genetically Modified Microorganisms
 A transgenic organism carries a gene from a
different species
 Transgenic organisms are used in research,
medicine, and industry
 Transgenic bacteria and yeast produce
medically valuable proteins
Designer Plants
 Transgenic crop plants help farmers produce
food more efficiently
 Plants with modified or foreign genes are now
common in farm crops
1 An A. tumefaciens bacterium
has been engineered to contain a
Ti plasmid. The plasmid carries a
foreign gene.
3 The plant cell divides, and its
descendants form an embryo.
4 The embryo develops into
a transgenic plant.
5 The transgenic plant
expresses the foreign
gene. This tobacco plant is
expressing a gene
from a firefly.
Using the Ti plasmid
to Make a Transgenic Plant
2 The bacterium infects a plant
cell and transfers the Ti plasmid
into it. The plasmid DNA becomes
integrated into one of the cell’s
chromosomes.

plasmid
Genetically Modified Crops
 Bt gene confers insect resistance to corn
Biotech Barnyards
 Transgenic animals produce human proteins
 Animals that would be impossible to produce by
traditional breeding methods are being created
by genetic engineering
 Transgenic animals are used in research,
medicine, and industry
Transgenic Animals
Knockout Cells and Organ Factories
 Transgenic animals may one day provide a
source of organs and tissues for transplantation
into humans
 Xenotransplantation
• Transplant of an organ from one species to
another

10.5 Genetically Modified Humans
 Genes can be transferred into a person’s cells to
correct a genetic defect or treat a disease
 However, the outcome of altering a person’s
genome remains unpredictable
 Gene therapy
• Transfer of a normal or modified gene into an
individual with the goal of treating a genetic
defect or disorder
Unpredictable Outcomes
 There are more than 15,000 serious genetic
disorders – gene therapy is the only real cure
 In some cases, gene therapy works – in other
cases it leads to death
• Inserting a virus-injected gene into a
chromosome can disrupt normal function and
cause cancer
• Severe allergic reaction to the viral vector can
cause death
One Successful Case of Gene Therapy
 Rhys Evans, born with a severe immune
disorder (SCID-X1) received a normal gene and
no longer lives in isolation
Getting Perfect
 Eugenics
• Idea of deliberately improving the genetic
qualities of the human race
 The potential benefits of genetically modifying
humans must be weighed against the potential
risks, including social implications
10.6 Impacts/Issues Revisited
 Golden rice with beta carotene was ready for
distribution in 2005 but is still not available for
human consumption – the biosafety experiments
required are too expensive for the public
humanitarian agency that developed it
