Introduction - What is Spintronics? Spintronics is Spin based electronics. The idea is to use the electron's spin, as well as it's charge. Electrons can spin in two directions (Spin-Up, Spin-Down, which is actually clockwise and anti-clockwise), and the spin is detectable as weak magnetic energy.
Viral Transduction. Transduction is the insertion of foreign DNA into a cell via a virus (See Reference 1 and 2). Viruses are made of a protein coat that houses DNA within. Viruses can bind to living cells and inject their DNA.Or, viruses can push into the host as a membrane-bound vesicle, before releasing their DNA inside the host. The use of recombinant DNA technology can insert foreign DNA into host cells that are then purposefully infected with viruses.ells have membranes that prevent DNA from simply diffusing in or out. This is the initial barrier that scientists must overcome in order to insert foreign DNA into a cell. The four ways of accomplishing this goal are transduction, transformation, transfection and injection.
The viral genome is DNA, not both DNA and RNA. The idea is that the RNA virus sequences encoding the capsid protein was converted to DNA, which then recombined with the viral DNA genome. The genome of this recombinant virus is DNA, n0t DNA and RNA.The gene encoding the viral capsid was acquired from an RNA virus, but as a DNA copy.he authors call it âRNA-DNA hybrid virusâ, or RDHV. The host of RDHV is unknown but could be one of the eukaryotes that inhabit Boiling Spring Lake. RDHV probably arose when a circovirus acquired the capsid protein of an RNA virus by DNA recombination. This event likely occurred in a cell infected with both viruses.
