Nucleic Acids in Molecular Biotechnology

Nucleic acids are central to numerous biotechnology applications.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Amplifies specific DNA sequences for molecular analysis.

Reverse Transcription Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR): Measures RNA expression by converting RNA into complementary DNA before amplification and quantification.

DNA Sequencing: Determines the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule.

Cloning and Vector Applications: Use DNA molecules and suitable vectors to maintain, study, or introduce genetic sequences into biological systems.

Genomics and Transcriptomics: Investigate genetic information and RNA expression across genes, cells, tissues, or organisms.

These technologies support research in molecular biology, pharmaceutical development, biotechnology, agriculture, and biomedical sciences.
