Arrange these events that occur during expression of a gene as a protein according to the order in which they occur, with the earliest event at the top.

In this process, a gene of interest is inserted into the chromosome of a bacterium, allowing the gene to be expressed with the cell.

DNA cloning

This process is responsible for the foramtion of a newd DNA helix
