Vectors and Electroporation Explained

A vector is any vehicle, often a virus or a plasmid that is used to ferry a desired DNA sequence into a host cell as part of a molecular cloning procedure. Depending on the purpose of the cloning procedure, the vector may assist in multiplying, isolating, or expressing the foreign DNA insert. Electroporation is the process of biotechnology to pass the electric current through the living surface fro example, a cell or a molecule. ... This method is usually used to enter the viruses or plasmids in the form of vectors or plasmids into the cell through pores in the cell membrane. #Electroporation #vector #plasmid #cosmid #artificialChromosome #DNA #bacteria #biotechnology #geneticEngineering
