Abstract
The present invention relates to a gene gun and the application of the gene gun for gene transformation. A low pressure gas is used in the gene gun to directly accelerate the biological material containing solution, so that the biological materials penetrate through the cell membrane/wall or the skin of an animal, without using metal particle carriers, for gene transformation.
