(1) Transfer of genes from one bacterium to another, with a bacterial virus acting as the carrier of the genes. (2) In sensory cells, the transformation of a stimulus (e.g., light energy, sound pressure waves, chemical or electrical stimulants) into action potentials.
Transfer of bacterial genes from one cell to another by packaging in a phage particle.
A process by which sensory receptors produce neural impulses when they receive physical or chemical stimulation. go to glossary index
The transfer of bacterial genetic material between bacteria by a bacteriophage or phage vector.
Transfer of host genes from one cell to another by a bacteriophage(Lecture: Bacterial Molecular Genetics I, 2/5/02)
A form of genetic exchange in which DNA is transferred from a donor bacterial cell to a recipient cell via a viral (bacteriophage) intermediate The donor culture is experimentally infected with the bacteriophage. During phage replication, a few of the new phage particles will package some of the donor DNA instead of (or in addition to) the phage DNA. These particles, consisting of donor DNA packaged into phage capsids, are called transducing particles. The recipient culture is experimentally infected with bacteriophage that had been previously grown on the donor strain cells. Some of the recipient cells will be infected with transducing particles (instead of viable phage particles). Donor DNA is transferred by the transducing particles to these cells. In random generalized transduction, any of the donor genes may be transferred to the recipient. In specialized transduction, only certain donor genes from a specific chromosomal location are transferred.
A method of gene transfer between bacteria in which the bacterial donor DNA is carried by a phage. There are two types of transduction: generalized transduction and specialized transduction. Generalized transduction can transfer of any region of the chromosome from the bacterial host into a recipient cell. Specialized transduction can only transfer regions of DNA adjacent to an integrated phage (prophage).
In the context of sensory systems, the transformation of the energy of a stimulus to a change in membrane potential of a sensory cell
(genetics) the process of transfering genetic material from one cell to another by a plasmid or bacteriophage
transfer of DNA from cell to cell via a virus
Transduction is the transfer of energy from one system to another; often the energy is received by one system which retransmits it to another is a different form. Transduction can also refer to a method of genetic recombination by which DNA is transferred from one cell to another by a virus.
In reference to gene therapy, the transmission of genetic material from one cell to another by viral infection.
introduction of viral gene carriers into cells for the purpose of gene transfer
In genetics, the transfer of genes by viruses from one organism to another.
The transfer of genetic determinants from one microorganism to another by means of a viral agent.
The incorporation of a cellular gene into a viral genome, that can then be introduced into other cells.
transfer of genes from one bacterium to another using a phage (virus).
The transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another by means of a bacteriophage.
the introduction of a transferred gene into a cell via genetic engineering techniques (e.g., a virus vector, liposomes).
(t) The transfer of DNA sequences from one bacterium to another via lysogenic infection by a bacteriophage (transducing phage). Genetic recombination in bacteria mediated by bacteriophage. Abortive t: Bacterial DNA is injected by a phage into a bacterium, but unable to replicate.
the transfer of bacterial genetic material from one bacterium to another using a phage as a vector
Viral transfer of DNA to new host.
the transformation of sensory stimulus energy into a cellular signal, such as a receptor potential.
The movement of genes from a bacterial donor to a bacterial recipient with the use of a phage as the vector.
Transfer of genes between bacteria by bacteriophages.
The translation of a physical energy into electrical signals by specialized receptor cells. See also receptor cells.
The virus-mediated transfer of host DNA (chromosomal or plasmid) from one host cell (the donor) to another (the recipient). Transduction was first observed in bacteriophage/bacterium systems, but has since also been found to be mediated by certain viruses infecting eukaryotic cells. ( 16)
Process in receptors whereby energy of a stimulus is converted into a local electrical, generator, potential and eventually a series of neural impulses in sensory fibres.
In physiology, transduction is the conversion of a stimulus from one form to another.
Transduction is the process by which bacterial DNA is moved from one bacterium to another by a virus. . When bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) infect a bacterial cell, their normal mode of reproduction is to harness the DNA replication machinery of the host bacterial cell and make numerous copies of their own DNA or RNA. These copies of bacteriophage DNA or RNA are then packaged into newly synthesized copies of bacteriophage virions. note, Transduction happens through the Lysogenic cycle.
In biophysics, transduction is the conveyance of energy from one electron (a donor) to another (a receptor), at the same time that the class of energy changes.
