Transformation of recombinant vectors from "summary" of Molecular Cloning by Joseph Sambrook,David William Russell
The transformation of recombinant vectors is a crucial step in molecular cloning procedures. This process involves introducing recombinant DNA molecules into a host organism, such as bacteria or yeast, where they can be replicated and expressed. The success of a cloning experiment often hinges on the efficiency of this transformation step. There are several methods for transforming recombinant vectors into host cells. One common approach is to use chemical treatments or electrical pulses to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, allowing the DNA to enter. Another method involves using specialized viruses or other vectors to deliver the recombinant DNA into the host cell. Each of these methods has its own advantages and limitations, depending on the specific requirements of the experiment. Once inside the host cell, the recombinant vector must be able...
