Vector
Vectors are vehicles for cloning DNA. A vector provides essential sequences for replicating DNA in a host and selection antibiotic markers. Non-essential sequences are deleted to allow room for the cloning of foreign DNA.

A vector is any vehicle, often a virus or a plasmid that is used to ferry a desired DNA sequence into a host cell as part of a molecular cloning procedure.
Binary vector

A vector (e.g. a plasmid) constructed in such a way that it can replicate in at least two different host species (eg a prokaryote and a eukaryote). A DNA recombined into such a vector can be tested or manipulated in several cell types.
Vector
A replicon that is useful for cloning DNA fragments so that they can be amplified or transferred to other cells. Common cloning vectors are derivatives of natural plasmids, phages, or viruses.
Vector
An agent, such as a virus or a small piece of DNA called a plasmid, that carries a modified or foreign gene. When used in gene therapy, a vector delivers the desired gene to a target cell. [Talking Glossary]

Vectors
Vectors are DNA used to transfer genes into a host cell.
A vector must be capable of self-replicating inside a cell.

vector
[L. carrier]
In recombinant DNA, a small, self-replicating DNA molecule, or a portion thereof, into which a DNA segment can be spliced and introduced into a cell; generally a plasmid or a virus.

Vectors in gene therapy
Viruses attack their hosts to insert their genetic material into the genetic material of the host. This genetic material contains instructions to produce these viruses.
Vector: An organism capable of carrying and transmitting a disease-causing agent from one host to another.
Virus: Any of various submicroscopic pathogens which can only replicate inside a living cell.

Vector: A type of DNA, such as a plasmid or phage that is self-replicating and that can be used to transfer DNA segments among host cells. Also, an insect or other organism that provides a means of dispersal for a disease or parasite.
vector. An organism able to transport and transmit a pathogen to a host.
vegetative. Plant parts or plant growth not involved in the production of seed, such as roots, stems, and leaves.
Vector (in DNA cloning) the molecule (plasmid, bacteriophage or artificial chromosome) used to propagate a cloned DNA fragment.
Vector In DNA cloning, the plasmid or phage chromosome used to carry the cloned DNA segment. Also refers to the plasmids used to transform a plant.
Vector. An autonomously replicating DNA molecule into which foreign DNA fragments are inserted and then propagated in a host cell. Also living carriers of genetic material (such as pollen) from plant to plant, such as insects.
vector - literally 'a carrier'. An animal carrying a microorganism pathogenic for members of another species; the vector may or may not be essential for the completion of the life cycle of the pathogenic microorganism.

Cloned DNA -- any DNA fragment that passively replicates in the host organism after it has been joined to a cloning vector. Codon -- a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies an amino acid.
Artificial chromosomeA vector constructed from host cell chromosomal elements such as origin of replication, telomeres and centromere (in eukaryotes).
Individual primary recombinant clones (hosted in phage, cosmid, YAC, or other vector ) that are placed in two-dimensional arrays in microtiter dishes.
Since most cancer-causing viruses are retroviruses, the virus may serve as a vector for oncogene insertion.
The P elements were vectored into D. melanogaster via a parasitic mite that targets both these species. This mite punctures the exoskeleton of the flies and feeds on the "juices".
DNA from a eukaryotic organism is digested with a restriction endonuclease and the resulting fragments cloned into a plasmid vector. Bacteria transformed by these plasmids collectively contain all of the genes of the organism.
