Transfection introduces nucleic acids into a eukaryotic cell without a virus. There are two types: transient and stable. Transformation and transduction are similar processes. These techniques are used in genetic research and could help cure diseases and improve the human body. Transfection is the process of introducing certain nucleic acids into a eukaryotic cell by […]
Transfection reagents are used to insert DNA into cultured cells for research purposes. They can be custom-made or purchased from life science companies and used to turn genes on or off or force cells to behave in a particular way. Various types of reagents are available, including calcium phosphate, lipid-based materials, viral DNA vectors, and […]
