Introduction
Plasmids are essential for the propagation of genetic information in living cells and are naturally occurring circular, double-stranded DNA molecules[1]. There are several reasons for the importance of plasmid research including ease of replication, stability and versatility. A plasmid is a significant part of the procedure which makes the cloning of an entire gene possible. One of the best things about the use of plasmids is that they are easily manipulated by experimental researchers, thus resulting in a large number of papers on plasmids being published each year. Over the lifetime, 44320 publication(s) have been published within this topic receiving 199.73k citation(s).

Top Experts in Journalism Research
Donald R. Helinski is a scientist who has worked in the field of plasmids for many years, focusing on ColE1 in particular. He's currently working on triparental mating and, on occasion, energy taxis. His molecular biology research incorporates themes from DNA replication and restriction sites. Many of his projects under DNA replication are closely connected to cyclic AMP (cAMP), tying together diverse disciplines of science. His E. coli research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in extrachromosomal DNA and DNA polymerase.
Stanley Cohen is an American geneticist who is the Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is known for cloning DNA and developing tools for genetic engineering. He was the first scientist to transplant genes from one living organism to another, a fundamental discovery for genetical engineering. Thousands of products have been developed on the basis of his work, including human growth hormone and hepatitis B vaccine. According to immunologist Hugh McDevitt, "Cohen's DNA cloning technology has helped biologists in virtually every field". Without it, "the face of biomedicine and biotechnology would look totally different".
Alfred PĂĽhler studied physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and received his doctorate in microbiology on the subject of the competence of donor and recipient in the Rhizobium lupini conjugation. From 1977 to 1979, he worked as a research assistant and completed a habilitation thesis on the resistance factor RP 4 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the soil bacterium Rhizobium lupini and in the enterobacterium Escherichia coli . In 1979, he was appointed to the Chair of Genetics at Bielefeld University. He worked there until 2008. From 1985 to 1986, he was Dean of the Faculty of Biology, from 1992 to 1994 Vice-Rector for research and young scientists at the university.
Chris Thomas is a corporate attorney at Kirkland & Ellis LLP. He advises private equity firms, public and private companies on structuring and negotiating complex business transactions, including domestic and international mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations and other general corporate matters. Chris has handled matters on behalf of Bain Capital, GTCR, KKR and Thomas H. Lee Partners.
Alessandra Carattoli is a full professor of microbiology at the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. She is dedicated to innovation in the field of bacterial genomics, producing advanced diagnostics and bioinformatics tools useful for antimicrobial resistance identification, detection of novel mechanisms of resistance, identification of trafficking among bacteria with clinical relevance for human health.In 2005 she proposed a molecular method for identifying plasmids within enterobacterial hosts (PBRT: PCR-Based Replicon Typing). This method was worldwide adopted and it has more than 1800 citations on Google Scholar. In 2008 she designed plasmid Multi Locus Sequence Typing (pMLST) and the pMLST database is currently the most publicly consulted data source for plasmid epidemiology (tracing antimicrobial resistance spread in bacterial pathogens but also in commensals of human, animal and environmental origin).
Top Institutions in Cancer Research
The Institut Pasteur is a research center dedicated to the study of biology, micro-organisms and diseases. It was founded by Louis Pasteur in 1888. For over a century, the Institut Pasteur has researched infectious diseases. This worldwide biomedical research organization based in Paris was the first to isolate HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in 1983. Over the years, it has been responsible for discoveries that have enabled medical science to control diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, influenza, yellow fever and plague.
2. National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research. It was founded in the late 1880s and is now part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Most of NIH's facilities are located in Bethesda, Maryland, and other nearby suburbs of the Washington metropolitan area; other major facilities are located in the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, USA; with smaller satellite facilities located around the world. The NIH conducts its own scientific research through its Intramural Research Program (IRP) and provides major biomedical research funding to non-NIH facilities through its Extramural Research Program.
3. Spanish National Research Council
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) is the largest public institution dedicated to research in Spain and the third largest in Europe. It is responsible for generating scientific knowledge, working with domestic and foreign entities to achieve its goals, which include improving scientific and technological policy. CSIC comprises an area covering everything from basic research to the transfer of knowledge to the productive sector. Its research is driven by its centers and institutes, which are spread across all the autonomous regions of Spain. CSIC has 6 percent of all the staff dedicated to research and development in Spain, generating approximately 20% of all scientific production in the country.
The Max Planck Institute for Physics is a physics institute in Munich, Germany that specializes in high energy physics and astroparticle physics. It is part of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and is also known as the Werner Heisenberg Institute, after its first director in its current location. The institute traces back to 1914, as an idea from Fritz Haber, Walther Nernst, Max Planck, Emil Warburg and Heinrich Rubens. The institute was officially founded on October 1, 1917 in Berlin as Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut fĂĽr Physik (KWIP), with Albert Einstein as the first head. In 1922, Max von Laue succeeded Einstein as managing director of the institute.
The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) is Japan's first imperial and national university. It is a public research university with campuses in Hongō, Komaba, Kashiwa, Shirokane and Nakano. UTokyo has 10 faculties, 15 graduate schools and enrolls about 30,000 students—about 4,200 of whom are international students. Its five campuses are in the Bunkyō area of Tokyo.[12] UTokyo is considered to be the most selective and prestigious university in Japan.
