Plasmid design refers to the process of creating and optimizing circular DNA molecules (plasmids) for specific purposes. These plasmids serve as vectors to carry and replicate desired DNA sequences within a host organism, typically bacteria. Common uses include gene cloning, protein expression, gene therapy, and genetic engineering. The design process involves selecting appropriate plasmid backbones, inserting specific genes or DNA elements, incorporating regulatory sequences (promoters, terminators), and adding selectable markers (antibiotic resistance genes) to facilitate the identification and selection of cells containing the engineered plasmid.
