Abstract:
The restriction endonucleases PvuII, BamHI and EcoRI were tested for their ability to induce gene amplification in V79,B7 Chinese hamster cells. The results indicate that treatment with these enzymes efficiently increases the frequency of clones resistant to N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartate, indicating induction of CAD gene amplification.

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
01:58Cell Specific Gene Expression
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...
