Chapter 9, Problem 24P
Problem 15 showed part of the sequence of the plasmid vector pMBG36. Suppose you make a genomic library by inserting EcoRI-digested fragments of a genome into EcoRI-digested pMBG36. Write out the sequences of two different primers you could use to sequence (in separate reactions) the two ends of all the clones in the library. These primers should be as long as possible based on the information given.

In Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the temperature is one of the most important parameters
that could influence the efficiency of this technique. Each cycle of this reaction has its own
specific temperature. For instance, the denaturation step possesses a temperature of 94 - 98 ℃
to ensure that the double stranded DNA is fully separated.

(iii)
Why is the annealing temperature vital in this technique? Explain how will this
temperature affects the efficiency of this reaction.
Why is Hot Start PCR technique preferred by some researchers?

State whether a BamHI site has been re-created at the forward- and the reverse-end junctions of the human DNA with the plasmid vector band sizes are shown in one of the images.

With the use of this “shotgun” technique, every DNA sequence of Drosophila in a library can be recovered.a. How would you identify a clone that contains DNA encoding the protein actin, whose amino acid sequence is known?b. How would you identify a clone encoding a specific tRNA?arrow_forwardThe plasmid cloning vector pBR322 is cleaved with the restriction endonuclease PstI. An isolated DNA fragment from a eukaryotic genome (also produced by PstI cleavage) is added to the prepared vector and ligated. The mixture of ligated DNAs is then used to transform bacteria, and plasmid-containing bacteria are selected by growth in the presence of tetracycline. The cloned DNA fragment is 1,000 bp long and has an EcoRI site 250 bp from one end. Three different recombinant plasmids are cleaved with EcoRI and analyzed by gel electrophoresis, giving the patterns shown below. What does each pattern say about the cloned DNA? Note: pBR322, the PstI and EcoRI restriction sites are about 750 bp apart. The entire plasmid with no cloned insert is 4,361 bp. Size markers in lane 4 have the number of nucleotides noted.arrow_forward
