Definition of biolistics in English:

biolistics

plural noun bʌɪə(ʊ)ˈlɪstɪks

treated as singular A technique in genetic engineering in which tiny metal pellets coated with DNA are propelled into living cells at high velocities.
Example sentencesExamples
- As microinjection and biolistics definitely transfer DNA into walled plant cells, micro laser offers advantages in very specific cases in which those techniques are not applicable.
- Over-expression of introduced genes is a problem with some methods, such as biolistics, which is shooting gene preparations into plant tissue with tiny projectiles.
- Using biolistics, transgenic corn and soybean plants have been produced that contain heritable copies of the inserted gene.
- Previous reports have shown that biolistics can be used to transfer genes to chickens in ovo.
- This is sometimes called ‘biolistics’ - a cross between biology and ballistics.
- Immature embryos were transformed with these vectors by biolistics.
- Small metal particles encapsulated by carbon shells have also been shown to be candidates for biolistics.
- The cartoon on the left depicts a schematic of the biolistics process and the image on the right is a montage of neurons in cortical slice transfected by biolistics and immunostained.
- It makes use of biolistics technology, where tiny particles are injected through cell walls by a high-powered gun.

Derivatives

biolistic

adjective

Besides allowing the permanent transformation of many important, and formerly recalcitrant, agronomic species, the biolistic method has become very common in transient expression studies.
Example sentencesExamples
- Particle coating and bombardment conditions were carried out basically as described previously, with a biolistic helium gun device.
- Coating of the gold particles and biolistic transformation were carried out by a method improved for high reproducibility as described.
- The strain was transformed using biolistic techniques.
- Leaves of pepper, potato, tomato, Arabidopsis, and maize were subjected to biolistic transient transformation with various DNA constructs and were subsequently histochemically stained to visualize GUS activity.

Origin

1980s: apparently from bio- and ballistics.
