plasmid library

A plasmid library is a collection of many different DNA molecules, each inserted into a small, circular piece called a plasmid. Researchers create these libraries to study or manipulate genes, as they contain diverse genetic sequences. By working with this library, scientists can identify specific genes, test their functions, or develop new therapies. Imagine it as a well-organized library of genetic instructions, where each plasmid holds a unique page, allowing scientists to access and explore different genetic information efficiently.
