Besides learning about general genetics in my courses at OSU, I do not have much personal experience with bacterial genetics or biological engineering. I have taken some courses that have discussed horizontal gene transfers and plasmids, and I believe that cloning using bacterial vectors would be a related technique. I assume that the bacterial vector would hold the desired genetic information and using various enzymes would be able to insert the genetic material into the targeted organism. It seems like this is something that we are currently exploring through our first experiment by creating antibiotic resistance bacteria.
