In genetics, transduction is the transfer of viral, bacterial, or both bacterial and viral DNA from one cell to another via bacteriophage.
In biophysics, transduction is the conveyance of energy from one electron (a donor) to another (a receptor), at the same time that the class of energy changes.
In machine learning, transduction is directly drawing conclusions about new data from previous data, without constructing a model.

Transduction is a process of genetic recombination in bacteria in which genes from a host cell are incorporated into the genome of a bacterial virus and carried to another host cell when the bacteriophage initiates another cycle of infection (Enc.Britt).
The method for transduction depends on what type of transducing particle is used, either generalized transducing particles or specialized transducing particles, and the number of times a bacterium must be infected in order to acquire the phage's gene in its genome.
Since transduction can be used to insert genes into cells, it helps to form the basis of all recombinant DNA technology, and paves the way for future advances in genetic engineering.
Phage transduction is used to move selectable genetic markers from one "donor" strain to another "recipient" strain.
Reference [1] is the first report of allelic exchange by "transduction" in enteric bacteria.
Ref. [3] is a beautiful and detailed experimental demonstration that the transducing particles responsible for transduction co-elute with infecting particles in ultracentrifugation, and thus are fully-formed, intact virions, but carry DNA exclusively of bacterial origin.
