Vector Cloning
- I don't think it is relatively cheaper than PCR because if you think about what you need; plasmid, gene of interest ,yeast, specific R.E etc. Thoes are not cheap.
- replicates entire DNA and once it is replicated, you are going to get the same targeted DNA over a long period of time.
- Depending on the purpose, it can produce protien.
PCR
- Takes less time than Vector Cloning.
- It only replicates DNA.
- one DNA strand can produce a billion strands of DNA in no time, but if the one DNA strand is contaminated, then the rest of the copied DNA is also contaminated.
- it is widely used in forensics. When they gather evidence, the first thing they do is PCR.
-If there is machine for PCR, everything is automated, so you can just leave it to machine and go for lunch.
*I'll edit more if i find more info regarding this topic :D
