Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
RNA is principally involved in the synthesis of proteins by transcription and translation of DNA ... In some viruses it is the sole nucleic acid, and hence the carrier of genetic information. RNA differs from DNA in containing the sugar ribose rather than deoxyribose; in having the base uracil in place of thymine; and in usually being single-stranded. 3, record 1, English, - ribonucleic%20acid

Los extremos cohesivos o adherentes son generados cuando la enzima corta las dos hebras asimétricamente, dejando los extremos de cada hebra de simple cadena complementarias entre sí.

Tout récemment, un pas de plus fut franchi avec l'invention des sondes «cadenas» qui évite le risque d'une hybridation trop labile et confère à celles-ci une extrême spécificité : la circularisation par leurs deux extrémités exactement complémentaires des sondes les fixe de façon définitive à leur ADN cible, un peu comme un cadenas qui serait posé in situ. 1, record 3, French, - sonde%20cadenas

Para visualizar las moléculas diana se utiliza una sonda marcada, bien radiactivamente, bien mediante marcaje inmunológico. Para el uso de ADN de doble cadena primeramente es necesario desnaturalizarlo mediante calor o en condiciones de alta alcalinidad. Esta sonda de cadena simple marcada se une a la diana; y los lugares de unión se detectan porque los métodos de marcaje dejan una señal detectable mediante fotografía. 1, record 3, Spanish, - sonda%20de%20cadena
