Difficulties with DNA
1. One cell normally provides too little
material for study
• Gene cloning
• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
2. There are often thousands of genes
on a DNA molecule
• Electrophoresis
Restriction Enzymes
• Bacterial defense against viral DNA
• Excise DNA at specific sequences

Gene of interest
Polymerase Chain Reaction
• In vitro amplification of a select length of DNA
Denaturation
Priming
Elongation
Desired Gene
Electrophoresis
• Separation of molecules based on size
• Negatively charged DNA molecules are pulled
through a gel by an electrical field
• Smaller molecules travel faster and farther
