Biotechnological Processes: Somatropin Harvesting
<Tab/>The use of living organisms, or organic substances, to develop new products or processes is not something new. Genetic manipulation has been performed for thousands of years. This is seen in the modern dog. They are countless variation of the canine breed. Humans have bread dogs together to obtain desirable properties, such as a

extracted, it is ligated using DNA ligase. An enzyme the joins complementary strands by forming the phosphodiester bonds of the DNA backbone (Di Giuseppe, et al, 289). The gene is ligated to a plasmid, circular DNA that can be used as a vector to deliver the growth gene inside the E. coli. The E. coli is then grown in a nutrient rich medium, where the somatropin is harvested. The overall process is simply cut and paste.
