What do you need to make a cell competent?
Cell competence refers to a cell’s ability to take up foreign (extracellular) DNA from its surrounding environment. The process of genetic uptake is referred to as transformation. In some cases, the genetic material taken in by a cell can become incorporated, or recombined, into its own genome.
How do you make a host cell competent?
- Microinjection.
- Electroporation.
- Chemical-mediated gene transfer.
- Biolistics or gene gun method.
