Last Week…

• Recombinant DNA Technology– Vectors, Cloning and Libraries

• Genomic vs. cDNA Library• How are libraries made?

– PCR (for making copies of DNA)• How does PCR work?• What is required to conduct PCR?

3 steps for each PCR cycle

• Each PCR cycle includes:– A denaturation step (92-96oC) separates the

two DNA strands.

– A primer annealing step (40-75oC) which is a few degrees below the Tm of the primers.

– A primer extension step (72oC) which is the optimal temperature for Taq DNA polymerase activity.
