    GlossaryNucleic Acid Extraction

    isolates DNA or RNA from cells for analysis

    Nucleic Acid Extraction, also known as NA extraction or DNA/RNA extraction, is a laboratory process used to isolate DNA or RNA from cells or tissues. This procedure involves breaking open the cells, removing proteins and other contaminants, and purifying the nucleic acids for further analysis or experimentation. It is a crucial step in many biological and medical research applications, including genetic testing, forensic analysis, and disease diagnosis.
