The 32 pages that link to Plasmid, each with the reason it gives.

• Horizontal gene transferRelated: Transferable plasmids often carry genes that spread by conjugation.

• Synthetic biologyRelated: Plasmids provide a practical way to introduce designed DNA into cells.

• Escherichia coliRelated: Some E. coli strains acquire plasmids carrying toxin or antibiotic-resistance genes.

• BacteriaRelated: Plasmids can carry traits such as antibiotic resistance and move between bacterial cells.

• Recombinant DNARelated: Plasmids often carry inserted DNA into host cells and replicate it there.

• Beta-lactamaseRelated: Plasmids can carry beta-lactamase genes between bacterial cells.

• Binary fissionRelated: Plasmids can be inherited during division, though their partitioning differs from chromosome segregation.

• BacteriumRelated: Some bacteria carry plasmids with genes for traits such as antibiotic resistance.

• Molecular cloningRelated: Plasmids commonly carry cloned sequences into bacterial host cells.

• Extended-spectrum beta-lactamaseRelated: ESBL genes often travel on plasmids that also carry resistance to other antibiotics.

• Sanger sequencingRelated: Plasmid inserts are frequent targets for Sanger verification.

• NucleoidRelated: Plasmids may occupy the cytoplasm, but are distinct from the chromosome-bearing nucleoid.

• Stanley CohenRelated: Cohen used plasmids as carriers for inserted DNA in bacteria.

• Lactococcus lactisRelated: Plasmids in some strains carry traits relevant to fermentation and antimicrobial production.

• Cas9Related: The standard vehicle for getting the Cas9 machinery into living cells.

• MupirocinRelated: Some high-level mupirocin resistance genes are carried on plasmids.

• Bacterial cell structureRelated: Plasmids add genetic material that can provide traits such as antibiotic resistance.

• TransformationRelated: Imported plasmid DNA may persist without integrating into the chromosome.

• History of genetic engineeringRelated: Plasmids became carriers for introduced genes in foundational experiments.

• NucleofectionRelated: Plasmids are a common nucleofection cargo for transient expression or genetic modification.
