Abstract
An engineered DNA molecule capable of being replicated in a cell, comprising a poly (A) tail coding sequence that makes the engineered DNA molecule more conservative when replicated in cells, particularly in prokaryotic cells, while adjusting the expression level of RNA in eukaryotic cells. Also provided are an RNA comprising the poly (A) tail and a use thereof.
