Tools of the trade: plasmid repositories and standardized plasmid manipulation for molecular and synthetic biology
Summary Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements capable of autonomous replication within a host cell. They play a key role in bacterial ecology and evolution, facilitating the mobilization of accessory genes by horizontal gene transfer. Crucially, plasmids also serve as valuable tools in mode...
