Subak - Nucleic acid detection graphic (IMAGE)
Caption
A study published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology shows that a low-cost tool, called Subak, is effective at telling when nuclease digestion has occurred, which is when an enzyme called nuclease breaks down nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, into smaller fragments. Researchers programmed the Subak reporters to emit a different color when they are digested by nucleases.
