In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

Nucleic acids are long chains of nucleotides found in all living organisms. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are two common nucleic acids responsible for providing genetic ...

Nucleic acid technology came of age during COVID-19 with biopharma firms developing, testing, mass producing, and shipping mRNA vaccines in record time. However, as the pandemic ebbs, the industry now ...

Growth of Molecular Diagnostic Testing Spurs Demand for Isolation Products The growing interest in molecular diagnostics as well as genomic and gene-expression analysis is accelerating demand for ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Nucleic acids provide a wealth of information for scientists looking to better understand biological processes. However, obtaining and preserving high-quality nucleic acid samples for experimentation ...
