Resumen
Em laboratório de biologia molecular existem normas para prevenir que nucleases destruam os ácidos nucleicos em análise. Rígida adesão a estas normas é primordial, principalmente em laboratórios de análises clínicas e ao se lidar com amostras com número restrito de cópias do genoma-alvo. Em contraposição, diversas nucleases têm tido importância fundamental, por exemplo, na identificação do ácido nucleico de vírus, investigação de RNA mensageiro, purificação de vírus em abordagem metagenômica, edição de genomas com o sistema CRISPR/Cas e descoberta de enzimas. O conhecimento de como nucleases podem ser tanto vilãs quanto aliadas é essencial na formação de todos que trabalham no campo de biologia molecular.
