Addgene, a purpose-driven organization helping scientists conduct experiments with greater ease, speed, and reproducibility, today announced a strategic partnership with Promega to expand Addgene’s ...

Birmingham scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to ‘displace’ antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. Plasmids, which are small, circular ...

Prokaryotes transfer DNA between cells by three processes: transformation, transduction and conjugation. Transduction and conjugation depend on specialized mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which ...

Plasmids are self-replicating genetic elements that float separately from a bacterium’s own chromosomes. Plasmids evolve independently but also help drive bacterial evolution, including the ...

Plasmid Purification Market to reach USD 6.6 Bn by 2035 at 12.3% CAGR, Driven by rising gene therapy demand, mRNA vaccines, ...

A new single-cell system visualizes plasmid competition, exposing how mobile genetic elements evolve and spread resistance. The findings point to ways of “weaponizing” plasmid rivalries to curb ...
