  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

    Transformation is one of three processes that lead to horizontal gene transfer, in which exogenous genetic material passes from one bacterium to another, the other two being conjugation (transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact) and transduction (injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host ...

  5. 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.

  6. Gene delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_delivery

    Gene delivery is the process of introducing foreign genetic material, such as DNA or RNA, into host cells. [1] Gene delivery must reach the genome of the host cell to induce gene expression . [ 2 ] Successful gene delivery requires the foreign gene delivery to remain stable within the host cell and can either integrate into the genome or ...

  7. 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.

  8. Transduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction

    Transduction (genetics), the transfer of DNA from one cell to another using a virus or viral vector Tbx18 transduction , a cardiac therapy method Transduction (machine learning) , the process of directly drawing conclusions about new data from previous data, without constructing a model

    Norton David Zinder (November 7, 1928 – February 3, 2012) [1] was an American biologist famous for his discovery of genetic transduction.Zinder was born in New York City, received his A.B. from Columbia University in 1947, Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1952, and became a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1969.
