  2. DNA paternity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_paternity_testing

    For this reason autosomal DNA testing would be a more precise paternity testing method. [8] In the US, the AABB has regulations for DNA paternity and family relationship testing, but AABB accreditation is not required. DNA test results are legally admissible if the collection and the processing follows a chain of custody.

  3. Double-stranded RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-stranded_RNA

    It is similar to DNA but with the replacement of thymine by uracil and the adding of one oxygen atom. [1] Despite the structural similarities, much less is known about dsRNA. [2] They form the genetic material of some viruses (double-stranded RNA viruses). dsRNA, such as viral RNA or siRNA, can trigger RNA interference in eukaryotes, as well as ...

  4. Nucleic acid test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_test

    Nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) strands with corresponding sequences stick together in pairwise chains, zipping up like Velcro tumbled in a clothes dryer. But each node of the chain is not very sticky, so the double-stranded chain is continuously coming partway unzipped and re-zipping itself under the influence of ambient vibrations (referred to as thermal noise or Brownian motion).

  5. Sense (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_(molecular_biology)

    Negative-sense (3′-to-5′) viral RNA is complementary to the viral mRNA, thus a positive-sense RNA must be produced by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from it prior to translation. Like DNA, negative-sense RNA has a nucleotide sequence complementary to the mRNA that it encodes; also like DNA, this RNA cannot be translated into protein directly.

  6. A Las Vegas father and his 18-year-old daughter learned through an Ancestry DNA test that they aren't related -- and the pair are now suing the IVF doctors they say are responsible for the embryo ...

  7. RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA

    Unlike double-stranded DNA, RNA is usually a single-stranded molecule (ssRNA) [4] in many of its biological roles and consists of much shorter chains of nucleotides. [5] However, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can form and (moreover) a single RNA molecule can, by complementary base pairing, form intrastrand double helixes, as in tRNA .

  8. R-loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-loop

    At least 100bp of DNA:RNA hybrid is required to form a stable R-loop structure. R-loops may also be created by the hybridization of mature mRNA with double-stranded DNA under conditions favoring the formation of a DNA-RNA hybrid; in this case, the intron regions (which have been spliced out of the mRNA) form single-stranded DNA loops, as they ...

  9. Genetic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_testing

    Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, is used to identify changes in DNA sequence or chromosome structure. Genetic testing can also include measuring the results of genetic changes, such as RNA analysis as an output of gene expression , or through biochemical analysis to measure specific protein output.
