Vectors derived from naturally mobile genomes can be used to carry genes into target genomes. The sources of these vectors include:

• Transposable elements
• Bacterial plasmids (transferred DNA from Ti Plasmids)
• Viruses
  • Retroviruses
  • Baculoviruses
  • Vaccinia virus

A variety of physical methods can also be used to put DNA into living cells.
