Description

Molecular cloning is a laboratory method used to create copies of specific DNA sequences. This technique allows for the isolation and amplification of genes, which can then be studied or used for various applications in genetic engineering and biotechnology.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'Clonación Molecular' is used in formal medical and scientific contexts. Common variants that may arise include 'clonación' without the 'molecular' qualifier, which could lead to confusion. It is important to maintain the precise terminology to ensure clarity in discussions about genetic research.

Example Sentences

EN: Molecular cloning has revolutionized our understanding of genetic functions.

ES: La clonación molecular ha revolucionado nuestra comprensión de las funciones genéticas.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'clonación' with 'clon' which refers to a different concept; misinterpreting the context in which 'molecular' is necessary; mixing up 'clonación molecular' with other types of cloning methods.
