'''Gene transfer''' is insertion of unrelated [[DNA]] into the [[cell]]s of an [[organism]]. There are many different reasons for [[gene]] transfer: for example, attempting to treat disease by supplying patients with therapeutic genes. There are also many possible ways to transfer genes. Most involve the use of a vector, such as a specially modified virus that can take the gene along when it enters the cell.
