A provirus is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell.In the case of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages), proviruses are often referred to as prophages.his can result in the destruction of its host cell because the cell's protein synthesis machinery is hijacked to produce more viruses. Proviruses may account for approximately 8% of the human genome in the form of inherited endogenous retroviruses.
Transduction is the insertion of foreign DNA into a cell via a virus (See Reference 1 and 2). Viruses are made of a protein coat that houses DNA within. Viruses can bind to living cells and inject their DNA. Or, viruses can push into the host as a membrane-bound vesicle, before releasing their DNA inside the host. The use of recombinant DNA technology can insert foreign DNA into host cells that are then purposefully infected with viruses.
