Says Roberts: «He quickly figured out that if Illumina was successful, it would need more than the world's supply of oligonucleotides» — the short snippets of nucleic acid that are designed to pair up with specific genetic sequences, and which are critical for DNA or RNA analysis.
The shortest chain of nucleic acids capable of replicating itself consists of only 6 molecules.
MicroRNAs are short bits of nucleic acid — the material of DNA and RNA — that can bind to messenger RNAs that code for protein because they have a complementary sequence of A, U, C and G.
MicroRNAs are very short bits of nucleic acid — the material of DNA and RNA — that can bind to messenger RNAs that code for protein.
Why, he mused, couldn't the unique ordering of the four nucleic acids in a short strand of DNA be mined in a similar way to identify the legions of species on earth?
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) / CRISPR - associated (Cas) systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against viruses and plasmids by using CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) to guide the silencing of invading nucleic acids.
Investigations of how short chains of nucleic acids replicate themselves in vitro have even provided clues to primitive genetic codes for translating nucleic acid information into protein information, systems that could have preceded the elaborate machinery of ribosomes and activating enzymes with which cells now manufacture protein.
To survive, the microbes deploy an adaptive nucleic acid - based immune system that revolves around a genetic element known as CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.
