The industrial applications of nucleic acids are quite varied, but like nucleic acids themselves, they all have something to do with the conservation and improvement of life, whether directly or indirectly.
Some of the medical applications of nucleic acids are:
Production of medicines, especially in gene therapies, to treat diseases like cancer and other genetic diseases.
Creation of biotechnological products, such as recombinant enzymes and proteins used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
Diagnosis of infectious and genetic diseases using techniques like DNA sequencing and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction).
Research in the fields of molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology focusing on the structure and function of genes and proteins.
