RNA and DNA extraction kits take formalin-fixed tissue samples by storm, enabling superior quality and yields. Researchers using standard extraction protocols that heat samples to eliminate ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have developed a simpler process for messenger RNA (mRNA) purification based on continuous precipitation. According to Maria ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...
