Outline a procedure for producing a useful new recombinant product
What will be an ideal response?
Many variations are possible. The answer should include (1 ) what organism is used as the source of DNA and how the desired DNA sequence is obtained, (2 ) the insertion of the DNA sequence into a plasmid, (3 ) the method of introduction of the plasmid into cells, and (4 ) how recombinant cells are identified. Since the question states a goal of a recombinant product, an expression vector should be specified. A variety of tools and techniques will be involved in a full answer.
