Extracellular Nucleic Acids

Extracellular Nucleic Acids edited by Yo Kikuchi, Elena Y. Rykova.

Extracellular nucleic acids have recently emerged as important players in the fields of biology and the medical sciences. In the last several years, extracellular nucleic acids have been shown to be involved in not only microbial evolution as genetic elements but also to have structural roles in bac...
