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 ...

Researchers analyzed ancient RNA from the extinct creatures. Could this be a “steppingstone” in the quest to bring them back?

Scientists have developed a new extraction protocol for RNA-seq and metabolomic analysis, offering a more complete picture of cellular activity than either technique on its own. The protocol employs a ...

Approach Mixes UV/VIS with Spectral Content Profiling for Yield and Quality Assessment Molecular genetic assays strongly rely on well-performed nucleic acid isolation as contamination with ...

Discover how AI is revolutionizing RNA drug development in a new article published in Engineering. Learn about the potential ...

RNA taken from the desiccated remains of a thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, could yield a new understanding of the species, which was declared extinct over 40 years ago. This is the first time RNA has ...

Thomas Gingeras did not intend to upend basic ideas about how the human body works. In 2012 the geneticist, now at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York State, was one of a few hundred colleagues ...
