Nucleotides are organic molecules that are made up of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar, and more than one phosphate group. Nucleotides make up the subunits of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. DNA includes the nucleobases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G) attached to a phospho-deoxyribose sugar, whereas the RNA backbone is made up of a phospho-ribose sugar. For RNA, thymine (T) has also been replaced with uracil (U). Nucleotides can also be used as carriers of energy in the cell (as ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP).

Experimental uses of nucleotides
Nucleotides are used for many molecular biology processes such as PCR as well as for sequencing processes; there are kits specifically designed for:

With our compare function, you can avoid all the time and energy wasted sifting through multiple web pages from different suppliers. At ZAGENO you can clearly see kits side-by-side, with the relevant attributes for each kit neatly in line for easy selection of the best product for you.
The ZAGENO comparison does not highlight one kit to be better than the other, as the kit of choice may vary between researchers - depending on each individual's preferred attributes. The best kit is the one that meets your needs - ZAGENO allows you to make an informed decision with minimum effort.
Check out our How It Works page for a guide to using the comparison function.
