Genetic engineering 101: Transforming Cells

Bacterial transformation is an essential protocol for genetic engineering and molecular biology more broadly. Transformation is the process by which foreign DNA is taken into a cell. This simple yet powerful technique is often used to make large amounts of valuable proteins like insulin or modify the genetic makeup of a cell to carry out a new or improved function. Beginners welcome!
