le chemin futur, dur ou chanceux?

Today, I discussed with Claverys about what we should do next. We will have to go back to the beginning and screen for sequences and genes important to natural transformation of E. coli, rather than choose special targets. Nevertheless, we get enough information that there is another channel through which DNA enters into cells. This is exiting although no body knows what kind of difficulties and chances we will meet in the future.

How DNA enter into E. coli??

In my experiments, it clearly shows that there is another pathway for the DNA uptake. The pathway is independent of traditional DNA uptake machine. But how does DNA enter into the cell? The question drives me mad.
