Recombinant DNA technology is used to obtain foreign gene product.

It involves following steps : 

1. Identification and isolation of gene of interest. 

2. Adding or ligating the gene of interest into suitable vector, resulting in formation of a complete recombinant DNA molecule. 

3. Transfer of this recombinant DNA molecule into suitable host cell. 

4. Selection of recombinants and non- recombinant cells. 

5. Expression of gene of interest by culturing recombinant cells under suitable conditions. 

6. Culturing of cells in bioreactors for large-scale production of desired product.
