Gene transfer can be effected by certain means that do not use vectors. These include a. Electroporation: Temporary holes are formed in the plasma membrane of the host cell by applying a high voltage. These pores permit entry of foreign DNA. b. Chemical mediated genetic transformation som..

These are used to break DNA molecule into fragments. They are further of three kinds, Exonucleases, which release nucleotides from 5 or 3 ends of a DNA molecule; Endonucleases, which cleave DNA helix at any point except the at the terminal ends and Restriction endonucleases, whic..
