What is biolistic particle delivery? Biolistic particle delivery or micro-projectile bombardment is a technique by which foreign genes are delivered to cells using heavy metal particles coated with exogenous DNA. What is the biolistic method? Definition. Biolistics is a method for the delivery of nucleic acid to cells by high-speed particle bombardment. The technique uses nucleic acid-coated particles propelled by a pressurized gun (gene gun) to transfect cells or organelles. How does the gene gun work? The gene gun is utilized to bombard the plant cell wall with many DNA coated metal particles by using compressed helium as the propellant....
