Introduction of exogenous DNA

Transformed. The phenotype of immortalized cells that have tumorigenic properties this term is also used in recombinant DNA technology to describe the introduction of exogenous DNA into bacteria. 

Introduction of Exogenous DNA into Bacillus Strains Incapable of Developing Natural Competence 242... 

Transfection Also known as gene delivery. Introduction of exogenous DNA into eukaryotic cells, most commonly through plasmids. One of the necessary steps for gene therapy. 

A number of techniques are available for the introduction of exogenous DNA into cultured Drosophila cells. The following are the most commonly used ... 

The most advanced method utilizes a binary vector system. One of the binary vectors is shown in Figure 7.11. This system depends on a small vector which contains the minimum elements required in cis. Other functions necessary for the gene transfer mechanism are donated from a separate helper, Ti plasmid. These features permit an easy introduction and maintenance of an exogenous DNA containing a manipulated gene.
