Therefore, they can be used to explore the mechanisms involved in DNA replication and to analyze the different strategies that couple DNA replication to other critical events in the cell cycle. In this review, …

Oct 12, 2025 · During cell division, plasmids are replicated and distributed to daughter cells. Some plasmids can also be transferred between bacteria through a process known as bacterial …

Nov 2, 2025 · One of the primary functions of plasmid replication is to provide for the perpetuation of extra-chromosomal genetic material. Without replication, the plasmid copies disappear as the cells …

May 25, 2021 · Plasmid can replicate independently. Replicons have at least one origin of replication, or ori site, where replication begins. The cell also contains the proteins that help to initiate the …

Feb 7, 2026 · Plasmid, in microbiology, an extrachromosomal genetic element that occurs in many bacterial strains. Plasmids are circular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules that replicate …

Apr 29, 2025 · Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotic cells. Their ability to replicate independently of chromosomal DNA makes them valuable tools in molecular …

Plasmid replication requires host DNA replication machinery. Most wild plasmids carry genes needed for transfer and copy number control. Some plasmids carry and oriT: origin of transfer. These plasmids …

Feb 2, 2026 · Here we refactored the natural pMB1 origin and created plasmids with customizable copy numbers by tuning refactored components. We then created compatible origins that use synthetic …

Artificial plasmids are widely used as vectors in molecular cloning, serving to drive the replication of recombinant DNA sequences within host organisms. In the laboratory, plasmids may be introduced …

Replication mechanisms of plasmid are host specific and effects plasmid copy number. Plasmid replicons consists of one or more origin of replication (ori) and few regulatory elements such as Rep …
