3 days ago · To examine the extent of DNA transfer between plasmids and chromosomes, we analyzed the genomes of 1,304 completely sequenced prokaryotic isolates that include a single chromosome and at least one plasmid. The majority of isolates in this set harbor a single plasmid (49%) or two plasmids (24%).
3 days ago · We demonstrate that plasmid-encoded fitness differences between individuals can then lead to adaptation of the population to specific environments and can promote both genetic stability and...
4 days ago · The market for plasmid kits hit a record high of $1 billion dollars in 2020, and it is projected to grow to $1.5 billion by 2025. Throughout this guide, we will discuss the definition of plasmid kits, the types of kits available on the market, how to choose the right plasmid kit, and common troubleshooting issues. Read More
1 day ago · Anal swabs of 1-month-old Holstein calves with diarrhea were collected from an intensive cattle farm, and a highly pathogenic Escherichia coli strain was obtained by isolation and purification. To ...
5 days ago · Zwitterionic carboxyalkyl poly (1-vinylimidazole) (CA-PVIm) polymers with imidazolium cations and carboxylate anions have been synthesized as a carrier for the in vivo delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) to skeletal muscle.
3 days ago · Article. The extent and characteristics of DNA transfer between plasmids and chromosomes. Graphical abstract. Highlights. A novel approach for detection of homologous loci in replicon pairs. Most shared genes between plasmids and chromosomes are in mobile genetic elements.
4 days ago · Plasmid pBI143 has recently been identified as being highly abundant in the human gut microbiome, suggesting potential as a fecal water quality indicator and normalization marker in wastewater-based surveillance. We evaluated the relative concentration efficiency and spatial–temporal distribution in raw wastewater to inform its development as a marker. The results showed significantly higher (p < 0.01) enrichment in raw wastewater solids (mean of 9.2 × 107 GC/mL) than in liquid fractions ...
