Gene Transference

Molecular classification
Biological Process, Technology
01

Overview

Gene transference, also known as gene transfer, is the process of introducing new genetic material (DNA or RNA) into an organism’s cells. This can occur naturally or be performed artificially for research or therapeutic purposes. It involves mechanisms like transformation, transduction, and conjugation, as well as technologies like CRISPR-Cas systems, electroporation, and viral vectors. Its clinical applications include gene therapy for correcting defective genes, providing new functions (e.g., cancer immunotherapy), or marking cells for tracking during treatment development. It is a technology and biological process, not a direct therapeutic target like a receptor or enzyme.
