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.

This may be about to change. The recent conditional approval in Japan of the drug Collatagene, which contains a small, circular DNA molecule, called a plasmid, with the gene for hepatocyte growth ...

Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are used for genetic engineering, CRISPR applications, gene therapy, pharmaceutical development, and recombinant DNA technologies. Plasmids come in ...

Circular double-stranded plasmid DNA (pDNA) plays a crucial role in vaccine development, cell and gene therapy, and recombinant protein or mAb production. These small pieces of DNA carry targeted ...

The current cost for DNA synthesis is less than $0.1 per nucleotide pair. In step 2, the gene fragment is integrated into a circular piece of DNA, called a plasmid, which is the main delivery vehicle ...
