Recombinant DNA technology aims to improve or obtain desired characteristics by modifying organisms’ genetic material. This course guides you through the entire process of altering genetic material, using insulin production as an example. We will cover all the terms frequently used in rDNA discourse, such as ?vectors?, ?ligase? and ?restriction enzymes?. The course will be of particular interest to biology and biotechnology students.
