Microbial Linear Plasmids

Microbial Linear Plasmids edited by Friedhelm Meinhardt, Roland Klassen.

Linear plasmids of microbes represent a heterogenous group of extrachromosomal genetic elements initially assumed to be rare and peculiar. However, we now know that they are fairly frequently occurring plasmids in bacterial and eukaryotic species. Viral strategies to avoid shortening of the linear m...
