Solution
- Restriction endonucleases: for cutting the desired DNA at desired places.
- Gel electrophoresis: for separating the desired DNA fragments.
- Ligase enzyme: for creating recombinant DNA molecule.
- DNA delivery system: like electroporation, microinjection, gene gun method.
- Competent host (usually bacteria/yeast): to take up recombinant DNA.
