Nucleic acids are chains of nucleotides that are a vital part of all living beings. The two most common types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which provide ...

Endosomal and cytosolic nucleic acid receptors sense microbial nucleic acids and initiate innate immune responses. However, in some circumstances their activation by endogenous nucleic acids can also ...

Exploring the full complexity of cells at the molecular level will require the fashioning of new tools that allow researchers to manipulate complex biological processes in unique ways. Small organic ...

Saliva is a viable alternative source of nucleic acids. A new collection device offers stable and easy saliva collection for extracting both DNA and RNA from a single sample.

Nucleic acids are essential for the functioning and development of living organisms. DNA carries genetic information that determines traits such as eye color and susceptibility to diseases in humans, ...

Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA play a central role in gene therapies and vaccines. They store and transmit biological ...

Nucleic acid extraction is a fundamental step in unlocking the genetic information contained within biological samples. Isolated nucleic acids are the basis for a multitude of analyses and ...

Some biologists have long hoped that small pieces of RNA that silence genes could help wipe out genetic diseases. But developing nucleic acid medications with good drug properties, such as selectivity ...

The primary bottleneck in this procedure is the inability to culture forensically relevant pathogens under laboratory conditions; moreover, nucleic acids may be low quality or damaged, rendering them ...

Understanding the integrity and quantity of your nucleic acid samples is critical for next-generation sequencing (NGS) and biobanking workflows. Whether you are working with gDNA, cfDNA or RNA, this ...

The research focus of the Müller group is the bioinorganic chemistry of nucleic acids with a particular emphasis on the generation, characterization as well as application of nucleic acids including ...
