Plasmid
A plasmid is a small circular piece of DNA, wholly separate from the genomic DNA, most commonly found in Bacteria and Archaea. Often encoding event-restricted genes that aid in organism survival, they can be divested if need be. Plasmids are often used in the biotech industry in order to clone recombinant proteins for expression by E. coli.
