What is Somatic and Germline Mutation?
“Somatic mutations occur in somatic cells and can’t be inherited whilst the germline mutations occur in germ cells and inherited onto offspring.” 3 somatic mutations are reported per healthy individual
What is the Function of RNase?
“RNase- acronym as ribonuclease is the class of nuclease used to inhibit the activity of the RNA during DNA extraction. Two types of ribonucleases are endoribonuclease and exoribonuclease.” Interesting information:
