	Transduction by Cameron Knight
		Transduction is a process of genetic recombination in bacteria in which genes from a host cell are incorporated into the genome of a bacterial virus and carried to another host cell when the bacteriophage initiates another cycle of infection (Enc.Britt).
		The method for transduction depends on what type of transducing particle is used, either generalized transducing particles or specialized transducing particles, and the number of times a bacterium must be infected in order to acquire the phage's gene in its genome.
		Since transduction can be used to insert genes into cells, it helps to form the basis of all recombinant DNA technology, and paves the way for future advances in genetic engineering.

	Sauer:P1vir phage transduction - OpenWetWare
		Phage transduction is used to move selectable genetic markers from one "donor" strain to another "recipient" strain.
		Reference [1] is the first report of allelic exchange by "transduction" in enteric bacteria.
		Ref. [3] is a beautiful and detailed experimental demonstration that the transducing particles responsible for transduction co-elute with infecting particles in ultracentrifugation, and thus are fully-formed, intact virions, but carry DNA exclusively of bacterial origin.

	Signal Transduction
		Signal transduction at the cellular level refers to the movement of signals from outside the cell to inside.
		PKCs are involved in the signal transduction pathways initiated by certain hormones, growth factors and neurotransmitters.
		Transformation by DNA tumor viruses such as polyoma appears to be mediated by the formation of a signal transduction unit consisting of a virally encoded T antigen and several host encoded proteins.

	Transduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In biophysics, transduction is the conveyance of energy from one electron (a donor) to another (a receptor), at the same time that the class of energy changes.
		In genetics, transduction is the transfer of viral, bacterial, or both bacterial and viral DNA from one cell to another via bacteriophage.
		In semiotics, transduction is the translation from a sign or concept from one field of knowledge to a different one.

	signal transduction
		In biology, signal transduction is any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another.
		Processes referred to as signal transduction often involve a sequence of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are carried out by enzymes and linked through second messengers.
		The environment of a cell may impinge on it in many ways: different kinds of molecules may buffet its surface, its body may be heated or cooled, it may be struck by light of various wavelengths, stretched, sheared or electrified (the nerves and muscles, for example).

	Signal Transduction
		Signal transduction is the process by which an extracellular primary signal is converted into an intracellular second messenger.
		A receptor is a protein that binds a signaling molecule (hormone or transmitter), becomes activated, and activates a signal transduction pathway.
		A neurotransmitter functions as an extracellular biochemical signal which is released from the presynaptic neuron, crosses the synapse and binds a post-synaptic receptor of another neuron.

		An infrastructure of signal transduction research laboratories is designed to serve the research themes of Emerging Infections and Host Defenses, Neural and Vascular Biology, and Cancer within the Ordway Research Institute and Wadsworth Center.
		Signal Transduction is the conversion of a cell surface signal into a coherent cellular response that is usually directed by the cell nucleus.
		The transduction of signals depends upon pathways of kinase enzymes that act predictably upon substrates, one or more of which translocate to the cell nucleus to modulate transcription of genes important to the specific response of a cell.

		Thus, in contrast with specialized transduction, generalized transduction requires that the recipient possess both a functional rec system and DNA homologous to the transferred fragment.

	Transduction channels
		This process is termed transduction, and the first electrical event in any sensory cell is the movement of ions across the cells' membrane via the opening or closing of specialized transduction channels.
		Proteins involved in transduction are exquisitely tuned to their respective sensory modality and hence allow the perception of extremely weak stimuli such as a few photons, a few odour molecules, or mechanical translocations on the scale of a few atoms.
		Thus, new experiments on transduction channels of photoreceptors, olfactory sensory neurons, taste cells, mechanoreceptors as well as receptors for temperature and pain provide the first comprehensive models for sensory function.
