Nucleic Acids
Genomic DNA & RNA
ATCC offers a variety of nucleic acid preparations from our Bacteriology, Mycology, Protistology, Virology, and Cell Biology collections.
Genomic Nucleic Acids
Genomic nucleic acids are aseptically prepared from minimally passaged ATCC microorganisms and cell lines that have been phenotypically and genotypically authenticated to confirm species identity and functional activity. These whole genome preparations save you the time and cost associated with culturing and extracting nucleic acids yourself. Also available in the Genomic Nucleic Acid collection for selected microbes are Quantitative Nucleic acids

Synthetic Nucleic Acids
Synthetic nucleic acids are designed and developed by the experts in microbial genomics to include key target regions from difficult-to-culture, un-culturable, or high-containment microorganisms. Each quantitative preparation is supported by stringent quality control analyses to ensure product identity, stability, and functionality with molecular applications.
