Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...

Nucleic acids are polymers of acidic monomeric subunits known as nucleotides, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute. In simpler terms, nucleic acids are what make up DNA ...

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 ...

Finding useful thermodynamic information of interest to molecular biologists is not particularly easy. Over the 11 years I’ve done the column, I’ve only come across a handful of such sites. I’m happy ...

Nucleic acid hybridization techniques offer a new approach to answer old, intractable questions in microbial ecology as well as new questions. These include characterization of the predominant, yet ...

A workshop in which 17 practicing scientists participated was intended to address primarily people who use or could use biotechnology in their work and was confined to five techniques. Endonuclease ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid ...

The NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules contain procedures for the containment of Recombinant or synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules. Synthetic nucleic ...

An innovative programmable tool for targeting nucleic acids has been created, utilizing a prokaryotic immune defense system—and it is not CRISPR-Cas. Russian Academy of Sciences researchers have ...

German CDMO BioSpring is building a new production facility that it hopes will become one of the world's biggest manufacturing sites for DNA- and RNA-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The ...
