DNA constructs

DNA constructs are engineered pieces of DNA designed for specific functions, such as producing proteins or studying genes. They typically combine various genetic elements—like a gene of interest, regulatory sequences to control its activity, and sometimes markers to identify successful insertions—assembled into a single, circular DNA molecule called a plasmid or other vectors. These constructs are used in research, medicine, and biotechnology to manipulate and understand genetic functions, develop treatments, or produce products like insulin or vaccines efficiently. Essentially, they are custom-designed DNA tools tailored for targeted biological applications.
