With in vivo cloning, it is possible to introduce a large pool of DNA sequences into the bacteria and to allow new architectures to emerge and new functions to develop. But creating such ...

Viruses that infect bacterial cells are called bacteriophages ... This powerful approach to cutting and pasting DNA molecules is known as DNA cloning or recombinant DNA technology.

Antibiotic resistance genes were typically isolated by cloning from cultured bacteria or by PCR amplification. Those methods missed potential antibiotic resistance reservoirs because of ...
