Molecular biology is an ever-changing field, and most significant developments have happened because of changes in plasmid DNA sequencing. A plasmid, a circular and small double-stranded DNA entity ...

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a recent Nature Communications publication. In the study, Chappell describes ...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors play a pivotal role in gene therapy, delivering therapeutic genes with high precision and safety. However, a significant challenge in the biomanufacturing of these ...

In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...
