Genetically Modified Tree Fruit - Okanagan Biotechnology Inc. At the heart of any biotech program lies the molecular work. This includes gene isolation, gene sequencing, preparation of cDNA libraries and the building of vector constructs. OBI is lucky to have excellent equipment, facilities and staff capable of all of the molecular biology tasks.
Molecular biologists are truly unique people.
Blind faith and remarkable skills allow tiny fragments of DNA to be isolated, elongated, sequenced, evaluated and compared to other little pieces, attached to genes and molecules of interest, etc. A molecular lab has some techy looking equipment. DNA synthesizers, plasma plates for Northerns, Southerns and Westerns, and a host of other equipment help keep track of each DNA fragment.
