This article outlined a method designed to enable high-throughput isolation of plasmid DNA from bacterial cell cultures, which has the potential to be fully automated. The method was shown to ...

The process of bacterial transformation involves the introduction of foreign plasmid DNA into a bacterial cell. The transformation of DNA into bacteria cells, for example, Escherichia coli (E.

The faithful inheritance of genetic material during cell division is a crucial process of life ... However, it remains unclear how this system leads to accurate plasmid segregation. In particular, it ...

Are DNA transformation and plasmid transformation the same ... Let’s consider an example of a bacterial transformation protocol using chemically competent cells and heat shock. Both transfection and ...

Scientists who have described in a new study the step-by-step details of a bacterial ... plasmid fragments, then more DdmE can acquire the fragments as guides to target more plasmids in the cell." ...

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

Bringing together concepts from electrical engineering and bioengineering tools, scientists collaborated to produce cells engineered to compute sophisticated functions -- 'biocomputers' of sorts.
