Evaluate the drafted changes

 * The definition is not really acurate. Addition to "isolated and amplified", there is also recombination. "Cloning vector" is not only a DNA molecule.
 * Couple of words are missed or miss-typed. The last sentence should be "ligate the foreign DNA....".
 * The reason why recombinant DNA is useful is that it can be expressed in a foreign organism to produce desired products. The foreign organisms are not limited to bacteria, can also be eukaryotes.
 * The content makes the article organized.
 * The DNA fragments can also be chemically synthesized. Also, the fragments usually get PCR firstly and then get digested and ligated.
 * The plasmid vector can be explained in more details, such as the essential parts.
 * Better to add a section for examples since the recombinated DNA is widely used.
 * Need more references.
