Exploring Plasmids: An Overview of Molecular Vectors in Genetic Engineering
Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules commonly found in bacteria and other microorganisms. They play a significant role in molecular biology and genetic engineering due to their ability to replicate independently from the host organism's chromosomal DNA. In this blog post, we'll explore the basics of plasmids and their importance in various scientific applications.
What Are Plasmids?
Plasmids are genetic elements that exist outside the chromosomal DNA in prokaryoti

Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is the scientific name for the purple sea urchin, a species of sea urchin found along the eastern Pacific coast, from Baja California to Alaska. It is commonly studied in marine biology and developmental biology due to its relatively large size, ease of maintenance in laboratory settings, and its importance as a model organism for research.
The purple sea urchin has a spherical body covered in spines and is typically purple or dark red in color, although color can

Developmental Transcriptomes of S. purpuratus
IntroductionThese RNA-seq data were generated from a comprehensive transcriptome survey of 22 samples, including 10 embryonic stages, 6 feeding larval and metamorphosed juvenile stages, and 6 adult tissues.In total 784 million 76bp pair-end reads were obtained. The reads were mapped onto the S. purpuratus genome v3.0, and new gene models were constructed. These RNA-seq models are identified with WHL22 prefix. Various information about the analysis is provided on this page.The analysis was done b
