Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The process of unidirectional (polarized) transfer of genetic information involving direct cellular contact between a donor and recipient cell; the contact is followed by the formation of a cellular bridge that physically connects the cells; some or all of the chromosome(s) of one cell ('male') is then transferred into the other cell ('female'); unidirectional conjugation occurs between cells of different mating types. Examples of this process are found in Prokaryotes. Any process by which an organism has an effect on another organism of the same or different species. In the absence of a sexual life cycle, the process involved in the introduction of genetic information to create a genetically different individual. The transfer of genetic information to a bacterium from a bacteriophage or between bacterial or yeast cells mediated by a phage vector. The introduction and uptake of foreign genetic material (DNA or RNA) into a cell, and often the expression of that genetic material.
