Editing Plasmid (section)

===RNA plasmids===
Although most plasmids are double-stranded DNA molecules, some consist of [[single-stranded DNA]], or predominantly [[double-stranded RNA]]. RNA plasmids are non-infectious extrachromosomal linear RNA replicons, both [[Virus-like particle|encapsidated]] and unencapsidated, which have been found in fungi and various plants, from algae to land plants. In many cases, however, it may be difficult or impossible to clearly distinguish RNA plasmids from RNA viruses and other infectious RNAs.<ref name = "Brown_1989">{{cite book | vauthors = Brown GG, Finnegan PM | title = RNA Plasmids | series = [[International Review of Cytology]] | volume = 117 | pages = 1–56 | date = January 1989 | pmid = 2684889 | doi = 10.1016/s0074-7696(08)61333-9 | isbn = 978-0-12-364517-3 }}</ref>
