Molecular biology is an ever-changing field, and most significant developments have happened because of changes in plasmid DNA sequencing. A plasmid, a circular and small double-stranded DNA entity ...

Astrivax BV has raised €30 million (US$30.1 million) in a seed round to take forward the development of a novel vaccine technology that combines a plasmid vector with a replication-competent virus.

DNA-based information is a new field hoping to fill the gap in long-term data storage by using DNA as an information storage medium. Despite DNA’s potential, researchers face problems accurately ...

In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors play a pivotal role in gene therapy, delivering therapeutic genes with high precision and safety. However, a significant challenge in the biomanufacturing of these ...

Nucleic acid purification procedures have enjoyed a long history, beginning with the first isolation of "nuclein" in 1869 by Freidrich Meischer. In 1958, Matthew Meselson and Frank Stahl demonstrated ...

A component of the human intestinal flora that has been little studied to date is the focus of a new study. Plasmids are small extrachromosomal genetic elements that frequently occur in bacterial ...
