gene transfer
Genetic material relocation
Gene transfer is the movement of genetic material from one organism to another.
In nature, bacteria exchange genes through various mechanisms.
In biotechnology, gene transfer is the deliberate insertion of genes into cells—the foundation of genetic engineering: Gene transfer techniques allow scientists to create insulin-producing bacteria.
Also called gene delivery.
