Molecular cloning has a wide range of applications in Cell Biology and other fields:
Gene Function Studies: Cloning allows researchers to isolate and study the function of specific genes. Protein Production: Cloned genes can be expressed to produce recombinant proteins for research, therapeutic, or industrial purposes. Gene Therapy: Cloning techniques are used to develop gene therapies for genetic disorders by replacing defective genes with functional ones. Genetic Engineering: Molecular cloning is a fundamental tool in genetic engineering, allowing for the modification of organisms' genomes.
