Plasmids, small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria, may contain antibiotic-resistance genes and have the ability to replicate independently. Bacteria can transfer these plasmids to one another, ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Increased demands for plasmid DNA (pDNA) for emerging nucleic acid-based vaccines and therapies exacerbate the need to remove bottlenecks from pDNA production. For industry, the problem has been that ...
