Gene Cloning
Gene cloning is the process of creating exact copies of a particular gene or DNA sequence. This technique involves isolating a specific gene from an organism's DNA, inserting it into a vector (such as a plasmid), and then transferring the vector into a host cell, where the gene can be replicated. Gene cloning is commonly used in biotechnology and genetic engineering to study gene function, produce recombinant proteins, and create genetically modified organisms.
