Text about tranformation ripped from here. Is it OK i wonder? http://nuke.scienceandus.com/Protocols/CaCl2bacterialcompetentcells/tabid/68/Default.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.3.234.5 (talk) 13:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

The history section in this article is very inadequate, compared to the importance of this discovery by Griffith and further conformation by Avery and McCarthy's experiment. This experiment has led into the understanding that DNA is a Genetic Material. Improving this is very necessary. I think that this experiment should be discussed with an associated diagram, explaining in detail about the S-strain and R-strain of Pneumococci and their lethality on mice. Then the use of "heat-killed" S-strain and live R-strain combined. Also further ellucidation is needed regarding Avery's experiment.
Also transformation is the basic principle behind Genetic Engineering. This article is direly in need of expansion. Please expand it. I will also contribute whenever I can. Proquence (talk) 10:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
The article currently states "Transformation of eukaryotic cells in tissue culture is usually called transfection.". However, from my understanding and from the wikipedia article is that transfection is specifically the uptake of DNA into the cell, and not its incorporation into genomic DNA. This is inconsistent with "In molecular biology, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the uptake, genomic incorporation, and expression of foreign genetic material (DNA)."

The "History" section of this Wikipedia article says, "Transformation was first demonstrated in 1928 by Frederick Griffith, an English bacteriologist searching for a vaccine against bacterial pneumonia". Where was this indication—that Griffith was working on vaccine—published? I deleted this claim from Griffith's page months ago, because I find in no literature that he was looking for vaccine, which is applied science or, less euphemistically, engineering. I've found indications only that Griffith was interested in figuring out the basic science and epidemiology of pneumonia.

I'm not sure why there are separate section for natural competence and natural transformation, since they are basically the same thing (competence is simply the readiness of the cell to allow transformation). Separating them will only cause confusion to those who are studying the subject, they therefore should be merged.
The page also needs reorganizing. Hzh (talk) 03:47, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
This article is quite imbalanced. It has long sections on several specialized topics (the proposed DNA repair function for natural competence, the mechanism of DNA penetration in artificially competent E. coli) and little or nothing on others (the mechanisms of natural transformation in various bacteria, how incoming DNA becomes part of the chromosome). I run a research lab on natural competence and transformation, and I'm going to try to create improved versions of this page and the page on competence. See my sandbox (not yet but soon).Rosieredfield (talk) 03:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Later I'd welcome ideas about the best organization of the related material on (1) natural competence and (2) transformation in bacteria, (3) artificial competence and transformation in bacteria (and other cells), (4) transfection, (5) lateral gene transfer. Most importantly, should we merge natural competence and natural transformation in bacteria? Rosieredfield (talk) 23:31, 12 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Transformation (genetics)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Please note that Gram is more often capitalized in science papers - [2], a minority of papers use the lower case form (probably around a quarter by looking at the first 100 papers listed), but it is a general policy of Wikipedia to use term in the way it is most-commonly used.

Some of the sections near the bottom could use a few more references. Icebob99 (talk) 18:29, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Transformation (genetics) → Genetic transformation – Natural disambiguation is preferred over parenthetical disambiguation (see WP:NATDIS and WP:NCDAB). The form "genetic transformation" is used in the titles of six of this article's references, so it seems to be common enough to be considered natural. Of the possible natural titles, "genetic transformation" fits the article's current scope better than alternatives such as "bacterial transformation" or "natural transformation".
