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?

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 ...

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

Oligonucleotides have a multitude of uses in nucleic-acid development, with applications in diagnostics (for example, as primers and probes for DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

Hence, the resulting products provided clues that the researchers could use to deduce potential codon–amino acid relationships. For example, when A and C were mixed with polynucleotide ...

The Nucleic Acids Institute is dedicated to understanding the chemical and biological basis for nucleic acid function, and to developing new and powerful nucleic acids based therapeutic and ...

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 ...
