Plasmids are closed, circular pieces of DNA that are able to self-replicate and are carried by many bacteria. They provide unique functions for bacteria by allowing them to sexually replicate and to pass on genetic material between each other. Plasmids are also responsible for the genetic factors that give resistance to antibiotics, and provide the enzymes needed to break down poorly metabolised food resources. The author has provided an updated treatment of the structure, function and application of plasmids suitable for undergraduates and medical students. Employing an original teaching perspective--examining plasmids as living organisms with either a symbiotic or parasitic mode of survival--this text provides an important framework for understanding the structure and function of plasmids in an evolutionary context. The most up to date text on plasmids An innovative teaching perspective makes for easy student understanding Contains crucial chapters on the importance of plasmids for clinical and biological research

Beginning with the basic concept of gene cloning, topics such as restriction endonucleases, chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides, cDNA synthesis, plasmids, and polymerase chain reaction have been discussed in detail in this book. The book also contains separate chapters on molecular markets and public concerns. All chapters begin with the chapter objectives and provide a exhaustive recap of the important concepts at the end of the chapter followed by review questions and numerical exercises.
