Duplicating Genes: The building block of genetic engineering By: Kyle Sexton BME 281 Extracting DNA Restriction enzyme has a specific shape travel along the channels of the double helix Scan for a certain sequence of amino acids. When the desired trait (sequence of amino acids) is found, it cuts the DNA The new DNA can now be implanted into the cut bacteria plasmid Duplication The restriction enzyme leaves an adhesive end - helps the new gene to attach DNA strip and plasmid are fused together. -Ligase enzyme Bacteria then reproduce Bacteria also manufa
