Abstract:
Storage and stable shipment of genomic DNA are of great concern to laboratories that may need to perform testing off archived samples. There are some dry-state storage methods that are available that have the potential to provide a way to store samples at room temperature for long periods of time as well as offer a means to ship DNA to other facilities without the same safety concerns that come with shipping liquid samples. The recovered DNA should be of sufficient integrity such that downstream applications can be performed without concern of the sample quality. This work describes sample properties between two methods of DNA storage, dried (room temperature) and traditional (-80 °C). DNA was evaluated for purity, fragment length, and the ability to generate HLA typing using next-generation sequencing.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
