The next steps in DNA cloning are bacterial transformation and selection. Once we have the recombinant DNA with your gene of interest, it is inserted into bacteria (transformation) and those bacteria that contain the plasmid we’re looking for are selected. We can then induce those bacteria to produce the protein we’re interested in (whether it is red fluorescent protein or a medical product such as insulin) and purify it.
