The segregation of plasmid DNA typically requires three elements: a DNA centromere site, an NTPase, and a centromere-binding protein. Because of their simplicity, plasmid partition systems represent ...

Bacterial plasmid segregation is a critical process that ensures the faithful inheritance of extrachromosomal genetic material during cell division. This intricate process is primarily mediated by ...

Duke University researchers developed a modular platform for producing programmable and synthetic biomolecular condensates (non-membrane bound organelles) with tunable material properties for ...

HOUSTON - (Aug. 12, 2019) - Rice University scientists have found a way to engineer a new kind of cell differentiation in bacteria, inspired by a naturally occurring process in stem cells. They have ...

Thermo Scientific™ KingFisher™ PlasmidPro prepares high purity plasmid DNA in approximately 75 minutes, half the traditional process time and without the need for centrifugation WALTHAM, ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 113, No. 26 (June 28, 2016), pp. 7177-7182 (6 pages) Foreign DNA molecules and chromosomal fragments are generally ...

An important part of the biopharma industry, Plasmid DNA is used as a gene-delivery vehicle for DNA vaccination and as a key intermediate for processes like viral particle production for gene therapy ...

Although bacteria may form colonies and biofilms, they do not constitute multicellular lifeforms like, well, us. Bacteria lack the ability to coordinate the basics of multicellularity, which include ...

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldevron, the world’s leading contract plasmid manufacturing organization, has announced the immediate availability of an off-the-shelf version of pXX6-80, a common adeno ...

Scientists have found a way to make single-celled bacteria behave like stem cells, differentiating into genetically unique individuals as they divide. Rice University scientists have found a way to ...
