Genetic modification can be used to produce human proteins in bacteria by inserting a human gene into bacterial plasmids.
Description
Steps in Genetic Modification
The process involves isolating the human gene using restriction enzymes, cutting bacterial plasmid DNA with the same enzymes, joining the human gene to the plasmid with DNA ligase, introducing the recombinant plasmid into bacteria, and allowing bacteria to multiply and produce the human protein.
