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.

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 ...

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 ...

Configurable informatics platform improves lab efficiency, data tracking, and resource management from plasmid to structure ...

Members of the team had previously reported that P. rustigianii carries a cytolethal distending toxin virulence gene on its plasmid. Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's ...

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, ...

John Innes Centre researchers and partners used a model plasmid called RK2 that is used globally to study clinically relevant plasmids that transmit antimicrobial resistance. Their initial focus was a ...

Zydus Cadila has filed for emergency use approval (EUA) in India of its plasmid DNA-based vaccine for COVID-19, which if given a green light could become the first shot of its type to be cleared ...

TriLink BioTechnologies & Aldveron ink non-exclusive license and supply agreement for CleanCap mRNA capping technology: San Diego, US Thursday, February 6, 2025, 15:00 Hrs [IST] T ...

The Gene Vector Core was awarded the Blue Flame Award. The award is given to scientists who have at least one plasmid deposited that has been distributed at least 100 times. The Gene Vector Core was ...

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 ...

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sapio Sciences, the science-aware™ lab informatics platform, today announced that Schrödinger, a global leader in computational chemistry, has adopted the Sapio ...
