It may be synthesized using an enzyme technique to form a strand of DNA on an mRNA template using reverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase to convert the single-stranded product (cDNA) to double-stranded DNA. Alternatively, an entirely new gene may be created, which will code for a novel amino acid sequence, by using a template formed from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides followed by enzymic polymerization. 3, record 1, English, - artificial%20gene
