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 ...

Watson and Crick's discovery didn't come out of the blue. As early as 1943 Oswald Avery proved what had been suspected: that DNA, a nucleic acid, carries genetic information. But no one knew how ...

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 ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

In the first step, the nucleic acids (siRNA or pDNA) are electrostatically condensed by complexation with polycations (decaarginine- or 2.5 kDa polyethylenimine-modified β-cyclodextrin) to form ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping the building blocks of life. Their study reveals that calcium ions help determine the molecular 'handedness' (chirality) of tartaric ...

Urinary cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a valuable source of nucleic acids for developing non-invasive tests. For example, stabilized cfDNA is amenable to quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and ...

The miVac DNA centrifugal sample concentrator from Genevac is proven to efficiently remove water and organic solvents from biological samples containing nucleic acids. Concentration using a miVac DNA ...

In this week’s edition of the biotech bi-weekly, learn more about Thermo Fisher’s new system for automating complex sample ...

The Global Nucleic Acid Isolation and Purification Market is segmented into drug discovery & development, precision medicine, diagnostics, agriculture and animal research, and other, based on ...

Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) technology has accelerated drug discovery in the last few decades with several ... This webinar will explore the most recent ASO chemical modification: locked nucleic ...
