What is RNA extraction?

RNA extraction is a process used to isolate RNA (ribonucleic acid) from biological samples. It involves disrupting cells or tissues, separating RNA from DNA and proteins, and purifying the RNA for downstream applications such as gene expression analysis, sequencing, and diagnostics. Different methods exist, including organic extraction (e.g., using TRIzol), column-based purification, and magnetic bead-based separation.

What other technologies are related to RNA extraction?
