Rekombinantne

Rekombinantne, also known as recombinant, refers to a process in molecular biology where DNA from different sources is combined to create a new DNA sequence. This technique is widely used in genetic engineering and biotechnology to produce desired proteins, enzymes, or other biomolecules. The process typically involves the following steps:

First, the desired gene is isolated from its original source, such as a bacterium, plant, or animal. This gene is then inserted into a vector, which is a small piece of DNA that can replicate independently. Common vectors include plasmids, viruses, and artificial chromosomes.

The vector is then introduced into a host organism, such as a bacterium or yeast, where it replicates along with the host's DNA. The host organism expresses the inserted gene, producing the desired protein or biomolecule.

Rekombinant technology has numerous applications, including the production of insulin for diabetes treatment, the development of vaccines, and the creation of genetically modified organisms for agricultural and industrial purposes. It has revolutionized the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture by enabling the production of complex biomolecules that would be difficult or impossible to obtain through traditional methods.
