Expert Solution
Step 1

Transfer of foreign nucleic acid insert into the eukaryotic cell is transfection. For many scientific research purposes, the desired nucleic acid sequence has been introduced into the eukaryotic host genome to develop the desired gene product by using the transfection method. Modern life-scientific research uses different transfection techniques and this search for better transfection tools/methods/ technique is in a continuous ever-refining way.

The use of viral vectors to transfect eukaryotic cells is now a good and reliable approach by researchers. Although each approach has its own utilities and limitations.
