Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester Medical Center have developed a new, more efficient method for gene transfer. The technique, which involves culturing ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer – Meaning, Methods, Detection and Outcomes Horizontal gene transfer involves the movement of genetic material from one organism to another.

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. Researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...

Possible trial of vascular pressure-mediated plasmid gene transfer for treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Physical methods may be used to enhance viral vector based gene delivery.

To increase the levels of pulmonary gene transfer by nonviral vectors, we have adopted electroporation protocols for use in the lung. A volume of 100–200 μl of purified plasmid DNA suspended in ...

Traditional methods for studying gene transfer involve labeling mobile genetic elements with fluorescent proteins or antibiotic resistance genes. While effective, these approaches require ...

Although geneticists use a variety of gene transfer methods to introduce foreign DNA into microbial, plant, and animal cells, many important organisms do not respond to these established techniques.

Gene therapy currently represents the most promising approach for the treatment of hereditary diseases. Yet despite significant breakthroughs in recent years, there are still a number of hurdles ...

Electroporation is firmly established in the armamentarium of transfection techniques that include viral vectors, chemical or reagent-based methods, and mechanical gene delivery.

One problem in gene therapy is that not all genes transfer equally well into the target cells. UZH researchers have now developed a flexible method to transfer large genes efficiently and without ...
