    Cloning 2 Below is the restriction map of a 10 kb piece of DNA. Also shown below is a cloning vector which has two unique restriction enzyme recognition sites, one for EcoRI (E) and one for HindIII (H). The location of the kanamycin (kan) and ampicillin (amp) resistance genes is also shown. Kanamycin and ampicillin are antibiotics that are commonly used to select transformed E. colicells (consult the Lab Manual for more information). Note that the HindIII site is located...

    Aliquots of a 7.8-kilobase (kb) linear piece of DNA are digested with the restriction enzymes PvuII, HincII, ClaI, and BanII, alone and in pairs. The digestion products are separated by gel electrophoresis, and the size of each fragment is determined by comparison to size standards. The fragment sizes obtained, in kilobase pairs, are given below. Draw a diagram of the 7.8-kb fragment, showing the location of the restriction sites for each enzyme.             a.Digestion with PvuII: 1.3 kb, 6.5 kb             b.Digestion...

    The figure below shows a restriction map of a segment of a DNA molecule. Eco refers to locations where the restriction endonuclease EcoRI cuts the DNA, and Pst refers to locations where the restriction enzyme Pst cuts the DNA. Potential restriction sites are numbered 1-6. Distances between restriction sites are shown on the bottom scale in base pairs (bp). The thick line represents the part of the molecule that has homology with a probe. Eco Pst Eco Pst Eco Pst...

    If the target DNA (the 3.266 Kb E. coli genomic Bam HI fragment) has the same restriction sites on each end, there are two possible orientations for the target DNA to insert into the plasmid. The following restriction enzymes would cut the 3.266 kb Bam HI genomic fragment containing the RecA gene once or twice or not at all. In the tables below, list the expected DNA fragment sizes for the two possible orientations. Round the DNA fragment sizes to...
