What is the bombing of particles?

particle bombing is a technique that can be used to introduce a foreign DNA cell culture. Several methods of particle bombing are available that most include the use of a "gene weapon", a device that is designed to deliver particles to cellular culture reliably and efficiently. This technique is used in laboratories around the world for research and development purposes, using a specialized device, some of which are adapted to specific applications.

In the bombing of particles, particles, often heavy metals, they are used to break the cell wall. If the particles are covered in the DNA, foreign DNA will be introduced into the cell through breaks in the cell wall. If the cell walls are suspended in the DNA solution, some particles will be picked up by particles when they move by solution, forcing the bottom into the cell. In both cases, a foreign DNA, which has been adapted to the body examined, is essentially injected into the cells.

Early using particle bombing was in the development of transGene crops. With this technique, scientists could do things like introducing genes for resistance to herbicide to cellular cultures that would later be used to develop crops. Other genetic modifications could also be introduced. The use of technology has gradually spread to the cultures of bacteria and animal cells because scientists refined particle bombing.

This technique requires some fineness by the technician that performs it. The particles must be carefully selected and supplied in a controlled manner. The aim is to introduce particles with minimal cell damage so that they can recover after bombing particles and continue growth and division. If the cells are too damaged, they die. On the other hand, if the bombing of particles is not fully delivered, some cells in the culture will absorb foreign DNA.

Scientists must also make sure they introduce the appropriate DNA into the culture of the target cells. If they are not inLoaded DNA strands well connected to the organism, particle bombing may fail because they cannot be integrated into the body, or because errors occur. This requires knowledge of genetics and knowledge of the studied genome of the studied organism to confirm that DNA will end up where it has, and that it will work as scientists intending.
