MeSH definition : DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which
other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS;
BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient
cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS
to facilitate their selective recognition.;
