  2. Transduction (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(genetics)

    Transduction This is an illustration of the difference between generalized transduction, which is the process of transferring any bacterial gene to a second bacterium through a bacteriophage and specialized transduction, which is the process of moving restricted bacterial genes to a recipient bacterium. While generalized transduction can occur ...

  3. Transfection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfection

    Transfection is the process of deliberately introducing naked or purified nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells. [1] [2] It may also refer to other methods and cell types, although other terms are often preferred: "transformation" is typically used to describe non-viral DNA transfer in bacteria and non-animal eukaryotic cells, including plant cells.

  4. Genetic transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_transformation

    Viral transformation (transduction): Package the desired genetic material into a suitable plant virus and allow this modified virus to infect the plant. If the genetic material is DNA, it can recombine with the chromosomes to produce transformant cells.

  5. Horizontal gene transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer

    Horizontal genetic transfer was then described in Seattle in 1951, in a paper demonstrating that the transfer of a viral gene into Corynebacterium diphtheriae created a virulent strain from a non-virulent strain, [26] simultaneously revealing the mechanism of diphtheria (that patients could be infected with the bacteria but not have any ...

  6. Bacterial recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_recombination

    Bacterial recombination is a type of genetic recombination in bacteria characterized by DNA transfer from one organism called donor to another organism as recipient. This process occurs in three main ways: Transformation, the uptake of exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment. Transduction, the virus-mediated transfer of DNA between bacteria.

  7. Microbial genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_Genetics

    Transduction is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by a virus or viral vector. Transduction is a common tool used by molecular biologists to stably introduce a foreign gene into a host cell's genome.

  8. Gene transfer agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_transfer_agent

    Genetic transduction by bacterial gene transfer agents. (1) GTA particles encounter a suitable recipient cell. (2) Particles attach to cell and inject their DNA, and cellular proteins translocate the DNA across the inner membrane. (3) DNA is degraded if it cannot recombine with the recipient genome.

  9. Biological pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pathway

    Genetic pathway; Signal transduction pathway; Neuroanatomy. In neuroanatomy, a neural pathway is the connection formed by axons that project from neurons to make ...
