Opis: Techniques in Genetic Engineering - Isil Aksan Kurnaz

Although designed for undergraduates with an interest in molecular biology, biotechnology, and bioengineering, this book-Techniques in Genetic Engineering-IS NOT: a laboratory manual; nor is it a textbook on molecular biology or biochemistry. There is some basic information in the appendices about core concepts such as DNA, RNA, protein, genes, and genomes; however, in general it is assumed that the reader has a background on these key issues. Techniques in Genetic Engineering briefly introduces some common genetic engineering techniques and focuses on how to approach different real-life problems using a combination of these key issues. Although not an exhaustive review of these techniques, basic information includes core concepts such as DNA, RNA, protein, genes, and genomes. It is assumed that the reader has background on these key issues. The book provides sufficient background and future perspectives for the readers to develop their own experimental strategies and innovations. This easy-to-follow book presents not only the theoretical background of molecular techniques, but also provides case study examples, with some sample solutions. The book covers basic molecular cloning procedures; genetic modification of cells, including stem cells; as well as multicellular organisms, using problem-based case study examples.Introduction to Genetic Engineering Tools of Genetic Engineering Restriction Endonucleases Vectors Modifying Enzymes Basic Principles of Cloning Problem Session DNA Libraries Introduction Genomic DNA Libraries cDNA Libraries Library Screening Monitoring Transcription Problem Session Protein Production and Purification Expression Vectors and Recombinant Protein Expressions In Vitro Transcription and Translation Bacterial Expression of Proteins Expressions in Yeast Expressions in Insect Cells Expressions in Plant Cells Expressions in Mammalian Cells Purification of Proteins Post-Translational Modifications of Proteins Problem Session Mutagenesis Mutagenesis Deletion Studies Site-Directed Mutagenesis Random Mutagenesis Directed Evolution, Protein Engineering, and Enzyme Engineering Problem Session Protein-Protein Interactions Introduction GST Pull-Down-Based Interaction Assay Co-Immunoprecipitation The Yeast Two-Hybrid Assay Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Problem Session Cell Culture Introduction Genetic Manipulation of Cells Reporter Genes Types of Transfection Level of Expression Problem Session Genetic Manipulation of Stem Cells and Animals Stem Cell Technology and Knockout Cells Transgenic Animals RNA Interference and MicroRNAs Animal Cloning Pharm Animals Gene Therapy Genome Editing Problem Session Genetic Manipulation of Plants Monocotyledons, Dicotyledons, and Commercial Crops Plant Manipulation Methods Future Trends in Transgenic Plants Problem Session Today and the Future Bioinformatics and the Omics Age Synthetic Biology and Unnatural Amino Acids Optogenetics What Is Next?
