I'm curious about gene transaction. Could someone explain what it is and how it works in the context of genetics and molecular biology? I'd like to understand its role in the transfer of genetic information.

Gene Transfer is a process involving the introduction of foreign DNA into the cells of an organism.

This is commonly achieved through the use of vectors, which are carriers that can deliver the new genetic material into the target cells.

Plasmids and modified viruses are examples of such vectors, each with its own unique method of delivering the DNA.

In some cases, cells are modified ex vivo, meaning they are removed from the organism, treated with the new DNA, and then administered back to the organism.

Alternatively, gene therapy can be given directly to the subject, altering the cells in vivo.
