Gene transfer techniques from "summary" of Molecular Cloning by Joseph Sambrook,David William Russell
Gene transfer techniques are essential for introducing foreign genes into a host organism. These techniques involve the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another, allowing researchers to study the function of specific genes or create genetically modified organisms for various applications. There are several methods for gene transfer, each with its own advantages and limitations. One common gene transfer technique is transformation, which involves the uptake of foreign DNA by bacterial cells. In transformation, foreign DNA is introduced into the bacterial cell, where it can be stably maintained and expressed. This technique is widely used in molecular biology and biotechnology for gene cloning and protein expression. Another widely used gene transfer technique is transfection, which involves the introduction of foreign DNA into euk...
