Amgen Lab Write Up

I. Introduction
The Amgen Lab provided us with a chance to have hands on experience with modern biotechnological practices. In this lab, our underlying goal was to genetically engineer a strain of E. coli bacteria. We built a recombinant DNA plasmid using modern day biotechnological tools used in microbiology laboratories across the world. This recombinant DNA plasmid was then inserted into E. coli bacteria, using techniques developed by professional microbiologists. …
