期刊介绍：

Plasmid, A Journal of Molecular Genetics with Emphasis on Plasmid Biology, is a premier journal in the field of molecular microbiology and biotechnology. The journal focuses on the biology of extrachromosomal genetic elements in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, including their biological behavior, molecular structure, genetic function, gene products, and use as genetic tools. The journal features original research reports on movable genetic elements in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes, and publishes minireviews on various aspects of extrachromosomal gene systems and molecular microbiology.
