What is recombinant DNA?

• DNA containing genes foreign to that organism
• DNA which has been impacted by epigenetics
• DNA that has restriction enzymes
• DNA that has been sequenced

Restriction enzymes....

• Cut DNA at a specific site
• Can be used to isolate a gene of interest
• Can be used to cut vector DNA
• Do all of these things
