Suicide plasmids are used in genetic engineering to introduce specific genes into a target organism. These plasmids are designed to self-destruct after transferring the desired genetic material, preventing them from persisting in the organism. This mechanism helps to control the spread of the introduced genes and ensures that they do not have unintended consequences.
