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.

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

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

ADEPT can control gene expression in microbial communities by regulating plasmid behavior, such as their transfer, loss, and influence on cell function.

In animals, effective immune responses against malignancies and against several infectious pathogens, including malaria, are mediated by T cells. Here we show that a heterologous prime-boost ...

In this article, we discuss transformation, bacterial transformation in particular, and how scientists can utilize it to ...

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The purification of plasmid DNA (pDNA) is essential in molecular biology research. Over the years, plasmid DNA isolation technology has ...

The phase 3 trial design evaluating IMNN-001 in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer has been finalized among regulatory ...

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...
