Genetic Vectors
| Medical Definition: |
DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition. |
| Guide Notes: |
coord with specific bacterium, virus, phage or plasmid |

Genetic Vectors Categories.
 |
Cosmids - Plasmids containing at least one cos (cohesive-end site) of PHAGE LAMBDA. They are used as cloning vehicles. |
