| cloning |
Using specialized DNA technology to produce multiple, exact copies of a single gene or other segment of DNA to obtain enough material for further study. This process, used by researchers in the Human Genome Project, is referred to as cloning DNA. The resulting cloned (copied) collections of DNA molecules are called clone libraries. A second type of cloning exploits the natural process of cell division to make many copies of an entire cell. ...

| cloning |
producing organisms all of which contain copies of the same gene: the desired gene is removed from the donor, inserted into a vector (usually a plasmid), the vector is used to transform a host culture, then those hosts which have taken up the vector are selectively cultured.

| cloning vector |
A DNA molecule, such as a modified plasmid or virus, that can be used to clone other DNA molecules in a suitable host cell. Cloning vectors must be able to replicate in the host cell and must possess restriction enzyme cut sites that allow the DNA molecules targeted for cloning to be inserted and retrieved.
