Transformation is mainly performed in molecular cloning to maintain and propagate DNA sequences of interest in bacteria or other host cells. The DNA of interest is incorporated into plasmids or other vectors, which act as a vehicle to shuttle DNA of interest into host cells.
Bacterial transformation is a primary technique in molecular cloning to produce multiple copies of a recombinant DNA molecule. Bacterial transformation is a process in which foreign DNA is introduced into bacterial cells, resulting in the acquisition of new genetic traits.
