Molecular dating analyses allow evolutionary timescales to be estimated from genetic data, offering an unprecedented capacity for investigating the evolutionary past of all species. These methods require us to make assumptions about the relationship between genetic change and evolutionary time, often referred to as a 'molecular clock'.
Molecular cloning is the laboratory process used to create recombinant DNA. It is one of two widely used methods, along with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) used to direct the replication of any specific DNA sequence chosen by the experimentalist. There are two fundamental differences between the methods.
