| episome |
A genetic extrachromosomal element (eg, the fertility factor (F) in Escherichia coli) which replicates within a cell independently of the chromosome and is able to integrate into the host chromosome. The step of integration may be governed by a variety of factors and so the term episome has lost favour and been superseded by the wider term plasmid. Plasmids and F factors are episomes.
