Plasmid from a bacterium
DNA of interest from another organism
1 Plasmid and DNA from another organism are cut by the same restriction enzyme (in this example, Hin dIII). This produces molecules with complementary single-stranded ends.
Clonable DNA fragment
2 Mix two types of molecules so their sticky ends pair. DNA ligase then forms covalent bonds at junctions, linking fragments.
Recombinant DNA
3 Transfer recombinant DNA molecule to host cell, where it is copied and turned on to produce gene product.
