Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid. This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called ...

Figure 1: Expression of reporter gene constructs derived from the gcy-5, lim-6 and lsy-6 genes. One potential explanation for our observations is that the vector backbone may dictate the packaging ...

The DNA of interest is first isolated, then combined with a carrier DNA molecule called a vector, which is then introduced into the host organism. Gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, allow ...
