Economic indicator. An economic indicator is a statistic about an economic activity. Economic indicators allow analysis of economic performance and predictions of future performance. One application of economic indicators is the study of business cycles. Economic indicators include various indices, earnings reports, and economic summaries.
Transduction (genetics) Transduction is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell by a virus or viral vector. An example is the viral transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another. Transduction does not require physical contact between the cell donating the DNA and the cell receiving the DNA (which occurs in conjugation), and it is DNase resistant (transformation is susceptible to DNase).
Transformation vs Transduction. Conjugation is a well-known method of DNA recombination, which can be found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.Later on scientists found that DNA can transfer from one bacterial cell to another by another two mechanisms; namely, transformation and transduction.Similar to conjugation, these two mechanisms transfer DNA in one direction and recombination occur between alleles in homologous DNA regions.ater on scientists found that DNA can transfer from one bacterial cell to another by another two mechanisms; namely, transformation and transduction.
