Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
What is plasmid DNA used for?
Circular DNA is a kind of DNA that makes a closed loop. This kind of DNA has no DNA. They are present in all kinds of eukaryotic cells. They are derived from genomic DNA. They have a repetitive sequence of DNA in non- coding and coding areas of chromosomes. For example, a plasmid which is a mobile genetic element. whereas, in some exceptions plasmid also present in linear form. It has an extensive range of lengths from one thousand to tons of thousands of base pairs.
