A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs.

Recent TAU study demonstrates how a crucial but underexplored process of DNA transfer between bacteria affects its defense ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

The research team determined that one protein uses a short piece of DNA – known as a DNA guide – to set off events that recruit another protein to chop up the plasmid. Beyond revealing a ...

Elegen, the leader in next-generation DNA manufacturing, today announced the launch of ENFINIA™ Plasmid DNA, a faster, cost-effective solution for clonal synthesis of long and complex genes. ENFINIA ...

Plasmids come in different sizes and conformations, and so confirming and verifying plasmid quality is essential for downstream use. Scientists commonly do this using gel electrophoresis analysis, ...

Plasmid DNA, or simply plasmids, serve as important tools in life science and biotechnology industry and academic laboratories. Plasmids are commonly used to clone and amplify (make many copies of) or ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genetic Immunity, a leader in plasmid DNA-based immunotherapies, and VectorBuilder, a global specialist in gene delivery solutions, announced a strategic partnership to ...
