Difference between Gene Cloning and PCR
Making more copies of DNA from a single desired DNA is called DNA amplification or DNA proliferation. The prepared DNA has to be amplified to get enough number of copes of DNA for gene manipulation. Two methods have been followed to amplify the DNA. They are gene cloning and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Gene cloning : Production of multiple copies of a desired DNA in vivo by constructing an rDNA and introducing it into a bacterium, is called gene cloning.
