- The chosen piece of DNA is ‘cut’ from the source organism using restriction enzymes
- The piece of DNA is ‘pasted’ into a vector and the ends of the DNA are joined with the vector DNA by ligation.
- The vector is introduced into a host cell by a process called transformation. The host cells copy the vector DNA along with their own DNA, creating multiple copies of the inserted DNA.
