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...

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...
