Plasmids are self-replicating genetic elements that float separately from a bacterium’s own chromosomes. Plasmids evolve independently but also help drive bacterial evolution, including the ...
Gene therapies rely on plasmid DNA (pDNA). Consequently, continued growth in gene therapies is inseparable from continued growth in pDNA manufacturing. That growth seems assured. According to Grand ...
