Key Difference – Generalized vs Specialized Transduction Transduction is a mechanism which transfers DNA from one bacterium to another bacterium by a bacteriophage. Bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium. It is capable of attaching to the bacterial cell wall and injecting its DNA to the bacterium. Inside the bacterium, […]
Key Difference – Transfection vs Transduction In biotechnology and genetic engineering, foreign genes are introduced into genomes of the organisms with the objective of improving characteristics of the organisms. There are physical, chemical and biological methods available to introduce foreign DNA into host cells. Transfection and transduction are two types of gene transferring methods […]
The key difference between transformation and transduction is that transformation is a mechanism which alters the genetic material of bacteria by direct uptake of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane and incorporation of it into the genome while transduction is the injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the […]
