The directed movement of DNA into a cell that contributes to the process of transformation, the uptake of foreign genetic material into a cell. Any process by which an organism has an effect on another organism of the same or different species. The process by which a naturally transformable bacterium acquires the ability to take up exogenous DNA. This term should be applied only to naturally transformable bacteria, and should not be used in the context of artificially induced bacterial transformation. In the absence of a sexual life cycle, the process involved in the introduction of genetic information to create a genetically different individual. The introduction and uptake of foreign genetic material (DNA or RNA) into a cell, and often the expression of that genetic material.
