The **Plasmid** is a vessel for carrying a Gene, to be injected into a host's blood and then the host itself.

## Filling

Place the Plasmid in the right slot of a [Plasmid Infuser](@geneticsresequenced:plasmid_infuser). Then, place a decrypted [DNA Helix](@geneticsresequenced:dna_helix) in the left slot.

Each Gene has a specific amount of DNA Points required for the Plasmid to be infused with that Gene.

The first DNA Helix infused into the Plasmid will determine the Gene that the Plasmid will have. Each Helix after that will contribute DNA Points.

Helices with the Basic Gene will contribute 1 point, and Helices matching the Plasmid's Gene will contribute 2 points.

## Using

A completed Plasmid can be inserted into a filled [Syringe](@geneticsresequenced:syringe) or [Metal Syringe](@geneticsresequenced:metal_syringe) in the [Plasmid Injector](@geneticsresequenced:plasmid_injector), and then will give the Gene when injected into the host.
