WHAT IS IT? Biotechnology: the
application of technology to better use DNA and biology

HUMAN GENOME PROJECT
• Sequenced and identified all of the DNA and mapped where every gene is on each chromosome
• Study of the genes

GENETIC ENGINEERING GOAL: Change an organism’s
DNA to give it new traits
![Page 5: Biotechnology pp. 258-264. WHAT IS IT? Biotechnology : the application of technology to better use DNA and biology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082518/56649e705503460f94b6dba7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Recombinant DNA = DNA that contains genes from more than one organism
Transgenic Organisms = Organisms that contain genes from other species in their DNA
Also referred to as Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

Gene Cloning

A plasmid (ring of DNA found in bacteria) and human DNA (donor gene) are cut with the same restriction enzyme to make a sticky end
Donor gene combines with the plasmid (recombinant DNA)
Plasmid (cloning vector) is inserted back into bacterium so that now the bacteria cell makes that specific protein
EX. insulin for diabetics

Gene therapy Altering or Adding genes to treat a
genetic disorder
Useful for: Diabetes
Cancer
Hemophilia

STEM CELLS Stem cells have not yet
specialized, so they can become any body cell Useful for replacing tissue or organs

PROTEOMICS
Study and library of
all the proteins and their function Not all of DNA is used to make
mRNA or proteins The genes or proteins expressed
can indicate possible issues the organism is facing
