Research by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists centers on RNA, a nucleic acid that plays a crucial role in most ...

A nucleic acid is a long molecule made up of smaller molecules called nucleotides. Nucleic acids were discovered in 1868, when twenty-four-year-old Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher isolated a ...

In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides, were made up of sugar, phosphoric acid, and several nitrogen-containing bases.

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 ...

The development of nucleic-acid therapeutics, ranging from aptamers and antisense RNA to messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines and gene therapies, is a rapidly evolving industry that has the ...

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