A plasmid is a circular ring of DNA that is separate from the main 'cluster' of DNA in a bacterium. They are not usually found in any other organisms apart from bacteria. They are used in genetic modification where and extra gene is inserted into the plasmid ring so the bacteria produces substances (such as insulin).
