Nucleic acids are macromolecules, which means they are molecules composed of many smaller molecular units. Thes units are called nucleotides, and they are chemically linked to one another in a chain.

How did scientists discover and unlock this amino acid code? Once the budding molecular biology community was convinced about the triplet code, the race to decode which triplets specified which ...

Nucleic acid-based techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing, are widely used in molecular diagnostics. These methods allow for the detection and identification of ...

The group was formed in 2003, having previously been a special interest group (The Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology Group) of both the RSC and the Biochemical Society. The purpose of the group is ...

Nucleic acids are the backbone of molecular biology research. As such, preservation of their integrity and purity is fundamental for genomic research. Low quality samples can lead to inconsistent ...

Recent advancements in circulating nucleic acids, including cf-DNA and cf-RNA, have improved diagnostics and monitoring ...

The nucleic acid molecules inherited by the living cell bear the plan of all the cell's protein molecules. It now appears that another kind of nucleic acid plays a key role in translating the plan ...

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 ...
