Gene Transfer Techniques
Gene Transfer Technique | Technique, Gene Transfer | Techniques, Gene Transfer | Transfer Technique, Gene | Transfer Techniques, Gene
The introduction of functional (usually cloned) genes into cells and organisms. A variety of techniques can be used for gene transfer: (1) cell hybridization; (2) microcell-mediated gene transfer; (3) chromosome-mediated gene transfer; (4) DNA-mediated gene transfer. Gene transfer results in genetically transformed cells and individuals and is a step in recombinant DNA technology when cloned genes are being used for transfer.
