CABBI team develops automated platform for plasmid production

Scienmag

These small, circular DNA molecules are used by scientists to introduce new genes into a target organism. Well known for their applications in the production of therapeutic proteins like insulin, plasmids are broadly used in the large-scale production of many bioproducts. Plasmids have extensive use in basic and applied biology.
