Both RNA and DNA are composed of repeated units. The repeating units of RNA are ribonucleotide monophosphates and of DNA are 2'-deoxyribonucleotide monophosphates.
Both RNA and DNA form long, unbranched polynucleotide chains in which different purine or pyrimidine bases are joined by N-glycosidic bonds to a repeating sugar-phosphate backbone.
The chains have a polarity. The sequence of a nucleic acid is customarily read from 5' to 3'. For example the sequence of the RNA molecule is AUGC and of the DNA molecule is ATGC
The base sequence carries the information, i.e. the sequence ATGC has different information that AGCT even though the same bases are involved.
Consequences of RNA/DNA chemistry
The DNA backbone is more stable, especially to alkaline conditions. The 2' OH on the RNA forms 2'3'phosphodiester intermediates under basic conditions which breaks down to a mix of 2' and 3' nucleoside monophosphates. Therefore, the RNA polynucleotide is unstable.
The 2' deoxyribose allows the sugar to assume a lower energy conformation in the backbone. This helps to increase the stability of DNA polynucleotides. The following link shows 3-D models of the DNA and RNA nucleotides.
Cytidine deamination to Uridine can be detected in DNA but not RNA because deamination of Cytidine in DNA leads to Uridine not Thymidine. Uridine bases in DNA are removed by a specific set of DNA repair enzymes and replaced with cytidine bases.

DNA, RNA, and Protein: Life at its simplest
DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid. The double-stranded chemical instruction manual for everything a plant or animal does: grow, divide, even when and how to die. Very stable, has error detection and repair mechanisms. Stays in the cell nucleus. Can make good copies of itself.
RNA: Ribonucleic acid. Single-stranded where DNA is double-stranded, messenger RNA carries single pages of instructions out of the nucleus to places they're needed throughout the cell. No error detection or repair; makes flawed copies of itself. Evolves ten times faster than DNA. Transfer RNA helps translate the mRNA message into chains of amino acids in the ribosomes.
[Diagram of RNA vs. DNA: chemical structure and composition]
Base: a building block of DNA and RNA. There are five different bases: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil (which is found only in RNA and replaces Thymine in DNA).
Ribosomes: Message centers throughout the cell where the information from DNA arrives in the form of messenger RNA. The RNA message gets translated into a form the ribosome can understand and tells it which protein building blocks it needs and in what order to assemble them. Ribosomal RNA helps the translation go smoothly.
Amino acids: Polypeptide (protein) building blocks.
Polypeptides: chains of amino acids. Proteins are made up of several or many polypeptides.
Proteins: Chemicals that make up cell and organ structure and carry out reactions throughout the body, from breaking down food to fighting off disease.

Sanger dideoxy sequencing principle
The need for DNA replication: DNA polymerase, DNA single-strand template, with a 3'-OH at the end of the single-stranded oligonucleotide primers, 4 dNTP (dATP, dGTP, dTTP and dCTP). Using polymerase template for guidance, constantly dNTP will be added to the primer 3'-OH at the end, so that the primer extension, the synthesis of new complementary DNA strand. If a particular nucleotide, double-nucleoside triphosphate (ddNTP), as a result of deoxyribose in the 3 'position of a lack of hydroxy can not be formed with the follow-up to the phosphodiester dNTP key. For example, there is ddCTP, dCTP and the other three dNTP (one mark for the α-32P), to primers, DNA polymerase template and insulation together, can form a whole has the same primer 5'- Side and ddC residues for the 3 'end at the end of a series of fragments of different lengths of the mixture. By denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separation obtained from the radioactive zone map for developing a new synthesis of different length of the DNA chain of distribution of C to provide accurate information, so as to the location of C will be determined. A similar approach in ddATP, ddGTP and ddTTP existing conditions, can be obtained at the same time were ddA, ddG and ddT residue for the 3 'end of the head of the three short fragments of varying. The system will be a mixture of four parallel increase in the place of denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel electrophoresis board for each product in each of the components according to their length will be different from the separation, obtained from the radioactive Map image. Map can be obtained directly from the reading of the DNA base sequences.

The magic of DNA technology
Old saying, "Long Long-sheng, Feng Feng-sheng, the son of a rat holes will be." All the biological characteristics of DNA molecular structure by the decision. Biological differences between species, due to the genome sequence differences in rank due to differences in species, is due to the genome structure of the gene expression differences. In short, is the number of nucleotide differences in the number of permutation and combination and resulted in different species. Now shows that only 0.1 percent among people% of the genetic differences between chimpanzees and human genes, only 1%% of the difference. The use of the characteristics of the fight against crime, mainly: on-site analysis can be extracted from animals, plants and micro-organisms as well as the DNA, to determine the scope of the investigation, that tracking suspects.
1985 British biologist at the University of Leicester in the study, Professor Li克杰弗里斯gene variant gene was found on some small structures, which are sufficient to distinguish between the different structure of the individual. As a result, he thought of the possibility of the use of the structural differences to distinguish between different people, and to draw the world's first piece of DNA fingerprinting. The DNA identification, the police around the world attach great importance to its traditional biological forensic examination can only rule out suspects, not identified a suspect technology to a new stage. At present, the technology has been most countries in the world available.
For more than 20 years, DNA identification techniques have been establishing a DNA fingerprint, PCR amplification and RFLP analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequencing and other major technology. These new technologies and new ways to test genetic markers of increasing the information provided by the ever-increasing, so that the test toward fast, sensitive, accurate and trace, automation and quality requirements of the samples are becoming less and less development, more Good to meet the various needs of the criminal investigation, and so on.
DNA fingerprinting
And even the biological diversity of the human individual, in essence, is that the molecular structure of DNA differences. This use of different technicians using autoradiography and other advanced analytical tools can be drawn as a specific commodity, like the bar-code DNA map. This pattern of the individual as between people of different, like fingerprints, are highly specific and therefore referred to as DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting of the band is based on the law of the genetic parents of the transfer, in the absence of mutation, the genetic offspring of the half from the father and the other half from the mother, can not be with both parents do not have the genetic markers, son DNA fingerprinting on behalf of all the bands in all of its biological parents of DNA fingerprinting to find the appropriate location.
However, DNA fingerprints are also required larger samples are not suitable for the old, corrupt, and other samples to identify the limitations, since the 1990s, the establishment of PCR technology, DNA fingerprinting techniques to reduce the use of gradually.
PCR technology
PCR polymerase chain reaction is the acronym in English (PolymeraseChainReaction, referred to as PCR). In short, PCR is specific to the use of DNA polymerase genes do in vitro or test-tube with a large number of synthesis. It will be a limited number of DNA amplification of DNA fragments of the astronomical, can trace, old and the degradation of biological samples to do DNA analysis. At present, the technology used, for some genes can be copied to the original 10000-100000 million times. As a result, both in paleontology fossils, remains of historical figures, or a few decades ago in the homicide murderer left behind by the hair, skin or blood, as long as they can to isolate a bit of DNA, will be able to use the PCR amplification to be carried out over Right. This is also the "trace evidence" of the power lies.
Forensic PCR technology, the main features are: high sensitivity for trace, corruption and the old samples to identify, specific, simple, short-cycle testing, equipment not ask for much, easy-to-promotion.
Mitochondrial DNA sequencing technology
Mitochondria also contain DNA, mitochondrial DNA is located in the cytoplasm, with the genetic cytoplasm and at the same time it is maternally inherited. Mitochondrial DNA testing law, that is, for single-parent matriarchal paternity testing to identify the individual, and so on. A typical example is the U.S. Army DNA Identification Laboratory wars of the remains of soldiers killed in the identification of personal identification.
The discovery of DNA genetic markers before the forensic science major blood group serology using genetic markers, that is, the traditional blood type. DNA testing technology and a number of traditional criminal techniques, great superiority of the main problems: In many cases, despite trying to cover up criminal suspects, traces of the damage, physical evidence, but the victim's resistance, its own tension and Omissions and other circumstances, it is difficult to avoid leaving traces of blood, hair, body fluids and so on will be made available for DNA testing of biological samples, and the small amount of outdated, as well as the corruption of the old samples can be identified for DNA testing technology in the That crime across time and space to show off their capabilities, play a unique role in providing the material foundation and prerequisite.
Gene technology in the police department, and other applications, as Correctional Fue, Xiongwan grams of the sword, so that repeatedly violate the law by all kinds of criminals, but also complicated and confusing case, so as to the true colors of the incident.
1985 British biologist at the University of Leicester in the study, Professor Li克杰弗里斯gene variant gene was found on some small structures, which are sufficient to distinguish between the different structure of the individual.

The DNA identification, the police around the world attach great importance to its traditional biological forensic examination can only rule out suspects, not identified a suspect technology to a new stage. At present, the technology has been most countries in the world available.
For more than 20 years, DNA identification techniques have been establishing a DNA fingerprint, PCR amplification and RFLP analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequencing and other major technology. These new technologies and new ways to test genetic markers of increasing the information provided by the ever-increasing, so that the test toward fast, sensitive, accurate and trace, automation and quality requirements of the samples are becoming less and less development, more Good to meet the various needs of the criminal investigation, and so on.
DNA fingerprinting
And even the biological diversity of the human individual, in essence, is that the molecular structure of DNA differences. This use of different technicians using autoradiography and other advanced analytical tools can be drawn as a specific commodity, like the bar-code DNA map. This pattern of the individual as between people of different, like fingerprints, are highly specific and therefore referred to as DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting of the band is based on the law of the genetic parents of the transfer, in the absence of mutation, the genetic offspring of the half from the father and the other half from the mother, can not be with both parents do not have the genetic markers, son DNA fingerprinting on behalf of all the bands in all of its biological parents of DNA fingerprinting to find the appropriate location.
However, DNA fingerprints are also required larger samples are not suitable for the old, corrupt, and other samples to identify the limitations, since the 1990s, the establishment of PCR technology, DNA fingerprinting techniques to reduce the use of gradually.
PCR technology
PCR polymerase chain reaction is the acronym in English (PolymeraseChainReaction, referred to as PCR). In short, PCR is specific to the use of DNA polymerase genes do in vitro or test-tube with a large number of synthesis. It will be a limited number of DNA amplification of DNA fragments of the astronomical, can trace, old and the degradation of biological samples to do DNA analysis. At present, the technology used, for some genes can be copied to the original 10000-100000 million times. As a result, both in paleontology fossils, remains of historical figures, or a few decades ago in the homicide murderer left behind by the hair, skin or blood, as long as they can to isolate a bit of DNA, will be able to use the PCR amplification to be carried out over Right. This is also the "trace evidence" of the power lies.
Forensic PCR technology, the main features are: high sensitivity for trace, corruption and the old samples to identify, specific, simple, short-cycle testing, equipment not ask for much, easy-to-promotion.
Mitochondrial DNA sequencing technology
Mitochondria also contain DNA, mitochondrial DNA is located in the cytoplasm, with the genetic cytoplasm and at the same time it is maternally inherited. Mitochondrial DNA testing law, that is, for single-parent matriarchal paternity testing to identify the individual, and so on. A typical example is the U.S. Army DNA Identification Laboratory wars of the remains of soldiers killed in the identification of personal identification.
The discovery of DNA genetic markers before the forensic science major blood group serology using genetic markers, that is, the traditional blood type. DNA testing technology and a number of traditional criminal techniques, great superiority of the main problems: In many cases, despite trying to cover up criminal suspects, traces of the damage, physical evidence, but the victim's resistance, its own tension and Omissions and other circumstances, it is difficult to avoid leaving traces of blood, hair, body fluids and so on will be made available for DNA testing of biological samples, and the small amount of outdated, as well as the corruption of the old samples can be identified for DNA testing technology in the That crime across time and space to show off their capabilities, play a unique role in providing the material foundation and prerequisite.
Gene technology in the police department, and other applications, as Correctional Fue, Xiongwan grams of the sword, so that repeatedly violate the law by all kinds of criminals, but also complicated and confusing case, so as to the true colors of the incident.

About DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a nucleic acid molecule that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA is the lon-term storage of information and it is often compared to a set of blueprints, since DNA contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information.
