Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA found in many bacterial species. They often carry beneficial genes that help bacteria adapt to harsh conditions, but they can also carry genes that make bacteria ...

shed light on the unique behaviour of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), small, circular DNA structures that are common in some of the most difficult to treat cancers. The papers identify, for the ...

Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA sequences that are common to cells from all domains of life. Eren describes them as "typically small genetic entities that carry additional genes." They can be ...
