  2. Transduction (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(genetics)

    Transduction This is an illustration of the difference between generalized transduction, which is the process of transferring any bacterial gene to a second bacterium through a bacteriophage and specialized transduction, which is the process of moving restricted bacterial genes to a recipient bacterium. While generalized transduction can occur ...

  3. Prophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophage

    Genes are transferred via transduction as the prophage genome is imperfectly excised from the host chromosome and integrated into a new host (specialized transduction) or as fragments of host DNA are packaged into the phage particles and introduced into a new host (generalized transduction). [2]

  4. P1-derived artificial chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P1-derived_artificial...

    P1 has the ability to copy a bacteria's host genome and integrate that DNA information into other bacteria hosts, also known as generalized transduction. [2] Later on, P1 was developed as a cloning vector by Nat Sternberg and colleagues in the 1990s. It is capable of Cre-Lox recombination.

  5. Bacterial recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_recombination

    Bacterial recombination is a type of genetic recombination in bacteria characterized by DNA transfer from one organism called donor to another organism as recipient. This process occurs in three main ways: Transformation, the uptake of exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment. Transduction, the virus-mediated transfer of DNA between bacteria.

  6. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    Bacteria regularly undergo genetic recombination in three main ways: Transformation, the uptake of exogenous DNA from the surrounding environment. Transduction, the virus-mediated transfer of DNA between bacteria. Conjugation, the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another via cell-to-cell contact. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  7. P1 phage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P1_phage

    P1 is a temperate bacteriophage that infects Escherichia coli and some other bacteria. When undergoing a lysogenic cycle the phage genome exists as a plasmid in the bacterium [1] unlike other phages (e.g. the lambda phage) that integrate into the host DNA. P1 has an icosahedral head containing the DNA attached to a contractile tail with six ...

  9. Salmonella virus P22 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella_virus_P22

    Like many phages, it has been used in molecular biology to induce mutations in cultured bacteria and to introduce foreign genetic material. [2] P22 has been used in generalized transduction and is an important tool for investigating Salmonella genetics. [1]
