DNA Repair Mechanisms
DNA repair mechanisms correct damage to the genetic material caused by environmental agents, replication errors, and normal metabolic processes.
Gene Therapy
Gene therapy aims to treat or prevent disease by introducing, removing, or modifying genetic material within a patient's cells.
Recombinant DNA Technology
Recombinant DNA technology combines DNA molecules from different sources to create new genetic combinations for research, medicine, and biotechnology.
Site-Directed Mutagenesis
Site-directed mutagenesis introduces specific, targeted changes to a DNA sequence, enabling the study of protein function, the engineering of enzymes, and the modelling of genetic diseases.
Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Agarose gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments by size using an agarose gel and electric current.
CRISPR/Cas9
CRISPR/Cas9 is a gene-editing technology that allows precise modification of DNA sequences in living organisms.
DNA Ligation & Cloning
DNA ligation and cloning is a technique used to join DNA fragments together and insert them into a vector for replication.
Plasmid Purification
Plasmid purification is a technique used to isolate plasmid DNA from bacterial cells for downstream applications.
Restriction Enzyme Digestion
Restriction enzyme digestion is a technique that uses restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific recognition sequences.
