    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Stable genetic transfer to eukaryotic cells is crucial for genetic research and therapeutic applications.
    • Current methods face challenges in efficiency, precision, and the size of transferable genetic material.
    • Metaphase chromosomes offer a unique vehicle for delivering large, defined genetic segments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a general method for stable genetic information transfer to eukaryotic cells via metaphase chromosomes.
    • To review the current state, challenges, and uncertainties in chromosome-mediated gene transfer.
    • To discuss the potential applications of this method in genome research.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing metaphase chromosomes as vehicles for genetic material delivery.
    • Analyzing frequency of transfer, size of the transferred genome (transgenome), and cotransfer of linked genes.
    • Investigating serial chromosome transfer for cumulative genetic modification.

    Main Results:

    • A method for stable genetic transfer using metaphase chromosomes is presented.
    • Key parameters such as transfer frequency, transgenome size, and gene cotransfer were considered.
    • A model for chromosome transfer was proposed, highlighting areas of discrepancy and further investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • Chromosome-mediated gene transfer is a viable method for stable genetic modification of eukaryotic cells.
    • The technique holds significant potential for fine structural mapping and cloning of specific eukaryotic genome regions.
    • Further research is needed to optimize transfer efficiency and fully understand the underlying mechanisms.
