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.

A scaleable method for the liquid-phase separation of plasmid DNA from RNA. In the course of experiments on the potential of nucleic acid compaction for enhancement of chromatographic adsorption ...

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 ...

Scientists in The Wistar Institute lab of David B. Weiner, Ph.D., have described a next-generation vaccination technology ...

A new study in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell ...

However, plasmid copy numbers can fluctuate, causing inconsistent gene expression within bacterial populations. By balancing CRISPR-Cas-mediated cutting and gene transfer, ADEPT dynamically ...
