Recombinant DNA rDNA molecules are DNA sequences that result from the use of laboratory methods molecular cloning to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating DNA sequence sequences that would not otherwise be found in biological organisms. Recombinant DNA is possible because DNA ... within that identical overall structure. Consequently, when DNA from a foreign source is linked to host sequences that can drive DNA replication and then introduced into a host organism, the foreign DNA is replicated along with the host DNA. Introduction Recombinant DNA molecules are sometimes called chimeric DNA , because they are usually made of material from two different species, like the mythical Chimera mythology chimera . R DNA technology uses palindromic sequences and leads to the production of sticky and blunt ends . The DNA sequences used in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules can originate from any species . For example, plant DNA may be joined to bacterial DNA, or human DNA may be joined with fungal DNA. In addition, DNA sequences that do not occur anywhere in nature may be created by the Oligonucleotide synthesis chemical synthesis of DNA , and incorporated into recombinant molecules. Using recombinant DNA technology and synthetic DNA, literally any DNA sequence may be created and introduced into any of a very wide range of living organisms.

Naked DNA is histone free DNA that is passed from cell to cell during a gene transfer process called transformation genetics transformation or transfection . In transformation, purified or naked DNA is taken up by the recipient cell which will give the recipient cell a new characteristic or phenotype . Transfection differs from transformation since the DNA is not generally incorporated into the cell s genome, it is only transiently expressed. In the field of DNA vaccines or genetic immunization, the term naked DNA was coined by Vical to mean DNA delivered free from agents which promote transfection. Research on the use of naked DNA for DNA vaccination s and gene therapy has shown some initial success, but have not yet resulted in any generally available therapy.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Extrachromosomal DNA sometimes called extranuclear DNA or nonchromosomal DNA is DNA located or maintained in a cell biology cell apart from the chromosomes . In many cases, extrachromosomal DNA is contained in cytoplasmic organelles , such as mitochondria most eukaryotes , and in chloroplast s and plastid s plants . Extrachromosomal DNA can also be found in the plasmids of bacteria , or in intracellular parasitism parasites such as virus es. Certain types of cells such as cancer cells and cells maintained in cell culture artificial culture are known to acquire extrachromosomal DNA which provides them a selective advantage for growth under specific conditions. One example being the extrachromosomal double minute s which have been shown to contain oncogenes and provide growth enhancement in certain cancers. Extrachromosomal DNA sometimes contains addiction module s, a system that mediates cell death . DEFAULTSORT Extrachromosomal Dna Category DNA ur ... more details
