Nucleic acid testing or nucleic acid amplification testing, often abbreviated as NAT or NAAT, is a technique that involves amplification and detection of genetic material—the nucleic acids, DNA or RNA—for diagnosis or to provide guidance on therapy. read more
Now would seem to be a good time to consider alternative uses of nucleic acids that do not rely on virus-based vectors or even on gene transfer. Accordingly, the strategies explored in this Perspective series exploit a number of different facets of RNA and DNA biochemistry. read more
Nucleic Acid Sample Preparation Method. DNA and RNA are nucleic acid molecules that are used to store and transmit genetic information inside a cell. The central dogma of molecular biology states that DNA is transcribed into RNA that is then translated into protein. read more
