1. the processes of introducing foreign genetic material into cells
Usage: biology; molecular biology

Examples

• The researchers performed multiple transfections to test different gene combinations.
• Successful transfections require careful preparation of the cell cultures.
• The lab specializes in viral transfections for gene therapy research.
• Transfections using lipofection showed higher efficiency than electroporation.
• The protocol describes optimal conditions for mammalian cell transfections.
• Multiple transfections were needed to achieve stable gene expression.
