The writer should has an experiense in Bioinformatics and genomics function. The aim of this review is to
review successful transformation methods such as natural and electroporation transformation of C. jejuni
and relate these appropriate methods to design a Campylobacter hepaticus transformation strategy. You
should review the difference and similarities between C. hepaticus and C. jejuni’s genomes and growth
characteristics then suggest the transformation strategy for C. hepaticus.
Below are several paper for you to start with, then you do more search for the review.
