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 ...

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 ...
