Explore Plasmid through 10+ example sentences from English, with an explanation of the meaning and related words like inclusion. Ideal for language learners, writers and word enthusiasts.
Plasmid meaning
A loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from — and replicates independently of — the chromosomes; such loops are most commonly found in bacteria, but they are also sometimes found in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and they are used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer.
