This journal publishes research on plasmids, including their structure, function, and role in microbial and cellular biology. Articles cover topics such as plasmid-mediated gene transfer, antimicrobial resistance, genomic rearrangements, and the use of plasmids in molecular biology tools and systems. The research also explores plasmid dynamics in various environments, including the infant gut microbiome and marine bacteria, as well as their interactions with host cells and defense mechanisms.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
