Here we present a microRNA (miRNA) knockdown application, based on the use of Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA™)-modified ... specific and potent tools for functional analysis of miRNAs.

A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

Gene therapy involves the introduction of functional genes into cells to replace or correct defective genes. Nucleic acids, such as viral vectors or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, are used to ...

All cells evolved from a common ancestor and use the same kinds of carbon-based molecules. Learn how cell function depends on a diverse group of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and sugars.
