Summary Transduction is the process in which bacterial DNA is transferred from one bacterial cell to another by means of a phage particle. There are two types of transduction, generalized transduction and specialized transduction. Generalized Transduction: If all donor DNA fragments from any region of the chromosome have a chance to enter the transducing bacteriophage, […]

In transduction, DNA is transferred from one cell to another by viruses. Genetic transfer of host genes by bacteriophages occurs in two ways: generalized transduction and specialized transduction. Specialized transduction occurs only in some temperate phages. But specialized transduction is an extremely efficient gene transfer mechanism. On some occasions, DNA from a specific region of

Summary During the last two decades, the profusion of research on HIV due to the need to identify new therapeutic targets has given rise to a great deal of information on the retroviral replication cycle. However, although the later stages of the retrovirus life cycle, consisting of virus replication and exit, have been partially unravelled,
