DNA/RNA extraction Insights

What is DNA/RNA extraction?

DNA/RNA extraction is a process used to isolate and purify DNA or RNA from biological samples. It involves breaking open cells or tissues, separating the nucleic acids from other cellular components (proteins, lipids, etc.), and then purifying the DNA or RNA. This is a fundamental technique in molecular biology, genetics, diagnostics, and forensics. It is used for downstream applications such as PCR, sequencing, cloning, and genotyping.
