Woohoo! Anyone else as happy as I am that Heredity doesn't rotate out with anything?

I'm still confused why they didn't do a name swap

I could offer you a few reasons.
1. history
2. related to #1, to avoid confusion with last year's events
3. related to #1, no impetus to make the change
Unless you're saying they actually seriously discussed flipping the names of the event (which would mean #3 is wrong), those three reasons should all follow.

ME. It's one of my favorites.
I haven't gotten the rules yet. Does anyone know if there's any major changes to it? Thanks.

It does rotate out. Just not until next year.

Does anyone know exactly what they're referring to with "Plasmid selection and isolation"? It's a bit vague.

Well, plasmids are small portions of DNA that are separate from chromosomal DNA, they are most common in bacteria. I assume they mean anything pertaining to the selection for use in cloning (and other things). And, isolation refers to a method of extracting the plasmids you want.

i hope this was helpful to you
