Vector (molecular biology) - Wikipedia
WEBIn molecular cloning, a vector is any particle (e.g., plasmids, cosmids, Lambda phages) used as a vehicle to artificially carry a foreign nucleic sequence – usually DNA – into another cell, where it can be replicated and/or expressed. [1] A vector containing foreign DNA is termed recombinant DNA.
Vector: Features, Types, Examples, Uses, Diagram - Microbe Notes
WEBMay 12, 2024 · A vector is a substance, usually a piece of DNA that carries a sequence of DNA or other genetic material and introduces it into a new cell. Vectors act as vehicles to transfer genetic material from one cell to the other for different purposes like multiplying, expressing, or isolation.
Vectors in gene therapy - Wikipedia
WEBHow vectors work to transfer genetic material. Gene therapy utilizes the delivery of DNA into cells, which can be accomplished by several methods, summarized below.
Vectors 101 | ASGCT - American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy
WEBJan 30, 2024 · Vectors are essentially vehicles designed to deliver therapeutic genetic material, such as a working gene, directly into a cell. There are four main types of viral vectors (adeno-associated viral, adenoviral, lentiviral, retroviral) each with their own unique characteristics, uses, and limitations.

DNA Vector - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBVector. A DNA vehicle that can be propagated in living cells (e.g., bacteria and yeast) into which foreign DNA can be inserted and propagated with the vector DNA. Examples of vectors include bacterial plasmids; cosmids; bacteriophages; and, most recently, yeast artificial chromosomes.
DNA Vector - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBVectors are vehicles for transport of the genetic material (transgene) into the target cells. Gene delivery vectors can be divided into viral and nonviral types. Nonviral vectors are DNA plasmids with or without complexing agents to increase probability of cellular uptake (calcium phosphate, liposomes, proteins, etc.).
