The process by which genes cloned into specialized eukaryotic vectors are introduced into cultured animal cells for transient expression analysis is called:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transfection is the process of introducing foreign DNA, such as cloned genes, into cells. This is done using specialized vectors that are designed to work in eukaryotic cells. Transfection allows for the temporary expression of cloned genes in cells, which can be used for various experiments to understand gene function and regulation. Ligation is the process of joining DNA fragments together, hybridization is the process of forming a double-stranded molecule from two complementary strands, and transformation is the process by which bacteria take up foreign DNA. These processes are not specifically related to introducing cloned genes into animal cells for transient expression analysis.
