 Plasmid Summary
1,133 words, approx. 4 pages
 Plasmids are naturally occurring, stable genetic elements found in bacteria, fungi, and even in the mitochondria of some plants. They may be composed of DNA or RNA, double-stranded or single-stranded, linear or... summary from source:
 Episomes, Plasmids, Insertion Sequences, and Transposons Summary
690 words, approx. 2 pages
Episomes, plasmids, insertion sequences, and transposons are elements of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that can exist independent of the main, or genomic, DNA. An episome is a non-essential genetic element. In addition to its independent existence, an... summary from source:

Plasmids Summary
390 words, approx. 1 pages
Plasmids are extra-chromosomal, covalently closed circular (CCC) molecules of double stranded (ds) DNA that are capable of autonomous replication. The prophages of certain bacterial phages and some dsRNA elements in yeast are also called plasmids, but... summary from source:

 Plasmid Summary
77 words, approx. 0 pages
Genetic element not contained within a chromosome. It occurs in many bacterial strains. Plasmids are circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They are not essential for the bacterium but may give it a selective... summary from source:
 Plasmid Summary
73 words, approx. 0 pages
A circular, double-stranded molecule of DNA, commonly found in bacteria. Plasmids are able to self-replicate in bacteria and often confer a useful property on them, such as resistance to antibiotics. Because of their high frequency of replication, and... summary from source:
Plasmid Summary
35 words, approx. 0 pages
A circular piece of DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA) located outside the chromosome and found in bacteria. Plasmids are used in genetic engineering as a vehicle to insert new genetic material into other micro-organisms or... summary from source:
 Plasmid Summary
2,044 words, approx. 7 pages
A plasmid is an extrachromosomal DNA molecule separate from the chromosomal DNA and capable of autonomous replication. In many cases, It is typically circular and double-stranded. It usually occurs naturally in bacteria, and is sometimes found in...
