DNAVerknüpfung
DNAVerknüpfung is a term used in German-language biology to describe the process or result of joining two or more DNA molecules to form a continuous DNA sequence or recombinant construct. It is employed as a broad description for events that connect DNA fragments, including enzymatic ligation and recombination.
The most common mechanism is ligation, catalyzed by DNA ligases, which form phosphodiester bonds at breaks
Beyond ligation, DNAVerknüpfung also encompasses recombination-based joining, including homologous recombination and site-specific recombination, which connect DNA
Applications span molecular cloning, vector construction, gene insertion for expression studies, and genome editing workflows, as
Safety and ethical considerations apply whenever genetic material is manipulated. While the term DNAVerknüpfung serves as
