DNA technology revolutionizes medicine, forensics, and agriculture. Recombinant DNA creates insulin and growth hormones, improves vaccine safety, and helps solve crimes through …
Restriction enzymes & DNA ligase (article) | Khan Academy
How can pieces of DNA from different sources (such as a human gene and a bacterial plasmid) be joined together to make a single DNA molecule? One common method is based on …
Gel electrophoresis (video) | Biotechnology | Khan Academy
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or protein fragments by size. It involves a gel, electric charge, and migration of molecules. DNA samples are placed in wells …
Intro to biotechnology (article) | Khan Academy
DNA sequencing involves determining the sequence of nucleotide bases (As, Ts, Cs, and Gs) in a DNA molecule. In some cases, just one piece of DNA is sequenced at a time, while in other …
