What are selectable markers?

Expert Solution
Step 1 introduction

DNA (deoxyribo nucleic acid) is the genetic material in most organisms. Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology is the technique of manipulating the genome of a cell or organism so as to change the phenotype desirably.It is used to obtain therapeutic proteins like hormones and vaccines.

The basic steps involved in the process are:

  • Isolating the DNA from the donor.
  • The DNA from the donor is fragmented and screened for the desired gene.
  • The gene is then inserted into the cloning vector to develop recombinant DNA.
  • The recombinant DNA is then introduced into the suitable host organism by the process of transformation.
  • The suitable host then creates multiple copies of the genome and also can express the desired gene.
