A plasmid is a circular, independent,
nonchromosomal strand of DNA found in some bacteria.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver have completed what they call the first rigorous analysis of whether
nonchromosomal birth defects increase with maternal age.
Four regions of Cohort 9,085 cases with 2010 England, chromosomal and 1991-1999;
nonchromosomal 759,993 births anomalies, live births and fetal deaths [greater than or equal to] 20 weeks; all live and stillbirths Marshall et al.
Rather, it's an indication for evaluation of
