In vitro cloning

Advantages

  • Can be used to produce lots of DNA
  • The DNA produced isn't modified
  • only replicates the DNA fragment of interest
  • Fast process - PCR can produce millions of copies in a few hours.

Disadvantages

  • It can only replicate a small DNA fragment
  • You may need to modify the DNA
  • cannot make mRNA or protein

Evaluation

In vitro cloning makes copies of genes outside of a living organism using PCR
