What do genetic engineers use bacterial transformation for?

Answered

Genetic engineers use bacterial transformation to introduce foreign DNA into bacteria for a wide range of applications, including cloning, gene expression studies, and protein production. It is also used to create genetically modified organisms for pharmaceutical production (e.g., insulin, antibiotics), develop enzymes for industrial processes, and produce biological tools like CRISPR components. Transformation is fundamental to advancing biotechnology and molecular biology research.
