Comparison of the quality of the DNA extracted from different media at the Laboratory of molecular biology of the faculty of medicine of UNIKIN

Abstract

Since the advent of the Polymerization Chain Reaction (PCR) technique, Molecular Biology has considerably improved routine diagnostic methods in medicine in general. Its medical applications (molecular and antenatal diagnosis of infectious, hereditary diseases, genotyping, etc.) are often carried out through the study of Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA), which is the fundamental genetic material that governs the principles of Molecular Biology. Nevertheless, the study of Ribose Nucleic Acid (RNA) is also necessary in certain cases such as quantification of viral RNA (Viral Load).
