TOPIC- GENE CLONING- STEPS AND 
TECHNIQUE INVOLVED IN GENE 
CLONING. 
SUBMITTED BY, 
S.SHOBANA, 
PERIYAR UNIVERSITY, 
SALEM.
INTRODUCTION: 
 Cloning means using asexual reproduction to obtain 
organisms that are genetically identical to one another, 
and to the ‘parent’, of this contrasts with sexual 
reproduction, where the off spring are not usually 
identical. 
 It is worth stressing that clones are only identical 
genetically. The actual appearance and behavior of the 
clones will be influenced by other factors such as their 
environment. 
 This applies equally to all organisms from bacteria to 
humans.
THE BASIC STEPS IN A GENE CLONING EXPERIMENT ARE AS 
FOLLOWS: 
 A fragment of DNA, containing the gene to be cloned, is 
inserted into a circular DNA molecule called a vector, to 
produce a chimera or recombinant DNA molecule. 
 The vector acts as a vehicle that transports the gene into 
a host cell. Which is usually a bacterium, although other 
types of living cell can be used. 
 With in the host cell the vector multiplies, producing 
numerous identical copies not only of itself but also of 
the gene that it carries.
 When the host cell divides, copies of the recombinant 
DNA molecule are pared to the progeny and further 
vector replication takes place. 
 After a large number of cell division, a colony or clone 
of identical host cells is produced. Each cell in the clone 
contains one or more copies of the recombinant DNA 
molecule, the gene carried by the recombinant molecule 
is now said to be cloned.
CLONING: 
 A clone of consist of all the cells derived through 
mitosis from a single cell and the process of 
obtained a clone is called cloning. Therefore, all the 
cells of a clone are expected be identical with each 
other in their genotype and karyotype (chromosome 
constitution) and other attributes, except for the 
changes that may arise a fresh during and after 
cloning. 
 Coning is based on single cell separated from 
tissue and cultural in a manner to allow separate 
recovery of the cell mass derived from them.
THE USE OF VECTORS AS CLONING VEHICLES: 
 Vectors can be introduced into suitable host cells, where 
they replicate using the host’s enzyme. 
 A segment of foreign DNA which has been cloned into 
vector is therefore amplified along with vector DNA. 
 Large amounts of the desired foreign DNA are therefore 
produced. The vast majority of vectors are plasmids, the 
remainder consisting of those based on bacteriophase 
lambda and M13. 
 The major requirement of all vector of replication for a 
given host cell in order that they may replicate 
autonomously.
