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 ...

Structural comparison of DNA and the artificial TNA, a Xeno nucleic acid with the natural base pairs AT and GC and an additional base pair (XY). The DNA carries the genetic information of all living ...

Growth of Molecular Diagnostic Testing Spurs Demand for Isolation Products The growing interest in molecular diagnostics as well as genomic and gene-expression analysis is accelerating demand for ...

Synthetic nucleic acid analogues are known as xeno nucleic acids (XNAs), which is appropriate because “xeno” means “alien” or “strange.” To date, most XNAs have been just a little strange, containing ...

For the first time, scientists have developed artificial nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, with several additional properties in the laboratory. The DNA carries the genetic information of all ...
