Yeast-Derived Ribonucleic Acid by Molecular Depot is a yeast-derived ribonucleic acid prepared primarily as ribosomal RNA. Ribosomal RNA makes up most of the RNA in a growing yeast cell, so a bulk preparation from yeast is largely rRNA rather than messenger or transfer RNA. It is used as a carrier RNA in nucleic acid precipitation, as a blocking and competitor nucleic acid in hybridisation and as a substrate for ribonuclease assays. Each unit contains 25 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
