Wonder what kinda plasmids it had. Do people still use plasmids?
Plasmids are still the most economical way to propagate DNA and express proteins at scale. Obviously, just to try new sequences out it is faster to assemble DNA synthetically and with PCR.
Ok phew. Real talk, I've been out the game for years and am considering going back, but am also concerned about my skills being too out of date. Maybe I'll be okay.
I haven’t used Plasmids in years!
…I really should go back and replay BioShock this Christmas holiday!
people and bacteria use plasmids!
Oh true you can make decent money donating plasmids, especially in today's economy where everything is absolutely fucked
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell!
Yes, and ... Plasmids are The Free Little LIbrary of The Cell.
And ribosomes are the drunk frat party with the coked up stripper.
Could you please elaborate?
