A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical ...

Bacterial cells often possess molecules of closed, circular DNA, otherwise known as ‘plasmids’. They can also be present at much lower frequencies in certain eukaryotic cell types, such as yeast. They ...

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of our ways to reduce them, especially with antibiotics, it presents an arms ...

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 ...

Gene editing is revolutionizing the understanding of health and disease, providing researchers with vast opportunities to advance the development of novel treatment approaches. Traditionally, ...

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs. Bacteria have multiple defence ...

Through a recent agreement with Oxford Genetics, Aldevron will now be providing the plasmids necessary for lentivirus production to their customers, according to an announcement made last week at the ...
