What is Transrenal DNA?
Our scientists were the first to discover that a portion of circulating DNA crosses the kidney barrier and accumulates in the urine. This is Transrenal DNA which, like circulating DNA, contains genetic information from all cell types of the body. Urine is a relatively simple aqueous solution and, unlike plasma, contains few components that can attack and break down these DNA fragments. From there, the fragments can easily be isolated and analyzed using conventional methods in use or in development in many molecular genomics laboratories.
