In Vitro Mutagenesis and Use

Synopsis

Discusses deletions where a section of DNA is removed; and substitutions, where the overall DNA length remains the same but the sequence changes. Includes use of deletion mutation to investigate transcription control in the thymidine kinase gene of the herpes simplex virus, the injection of recombinant plasmids into xenopus oocytes, and the analysis of mRNA transcription by S1 nuclease mapping.
