Genetic transduction is the process of transferring bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another through a bacteriophage, which carries non-viral DNA from a previous host. This process results in horizontal gene transfer, creating genetic diversity in organisms that reproduce asexually. During transduction, a bacteriophage attaches to a bacterial cell and inserts donor DNA, which can later be incorporated into the recipient's genome through recombination. This method of gene acquisition can be identified through homology and phylogenetic analysis. One example of this process is in Sodalis glossinidius, an inherited endosymbiont in tsetse flies. Recombination caused by transduction can lead to bacterial genes being integrated into the host genome through site-specific recombination.
