2. Transformation (genetics)In molecular biology transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake, incorporation and expression of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings and taken up through the cell membrane(s).

Bacteria that are capable of being transformed, whether naturally or artificially, are called competent.
