Interface - The agreed upon way that a function is called. Example: The toaster, microwave oven, and blender in my home all have the same US 120 volt 60 Hertz interface. I can use any plug on the counter for any of them. Facade Pattern / Bridge Pattern - A go-between between 2 interfaces.
Germline Gene Transfer. Gene transfer represents a relatively new possibility for the treatment of rare genetic disorders and common multifactorial diseases by changing the expression of a person's genes. Typically gene transfer involves using a vector such as a virus to deliver a therapeutic gene to the appropriate target cells.
This kind of gene transfer can even occur between members of different domains: the eukaryota, bacteria and archaea. It's called horizontal gene transfer. Let's go over it. Horizontal Gene Transfer. Horizontal gene transfer, also known as lateral gene transfer, is the transmission of genetic material from one genome to another genome in a way other than reproduction. How can this be so? Well, there's actually more than one way, and I'm going to give you a concrete example.
