How have scientists made bacteria more useful today?

Scientists have taken restriction enzymes out of bacteria; restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA at cut sites. Also, they insert genes into bacteria to study them.


What are genes How do they differ from bacteria?

What is the role of cosmids in recombinent DNA technology?

Cosmids allow you to insert DNA sequences (genes) into the genome of a bacteria, much like a plasmid. Cosmids in recombinant DNA technology, however, utilize phage (bacterial viruses) to enable researchers to insert DNA sequences of genes with up to 44,000 base pairs, while normal plasmids are only able to efficiently carry 10,000 base pairs. This allows researchers to insert more complex genes into bacteria as well as increases the efficiency with which researchers can make genomic libraries of more complex organisms.
