Thermo Scientific dsDNase is an engineered shrimp DNase designed for rapid and safe removal of contaminating genomic DNA from RNA samples. It is an endonuclease that cleaves phosphodiester bonds in DNA to yield oligonucleotides with 5’-phosphate and 3’-hydroxyl termini. Highly specific activity towards double-stranded DNA ensures that RNA and single-stranded DNA, such as cDNA and primers are not cleaved. dsDNase is easily inactivated by moderate heat treatment (55 °C). These features make dsDNase an excellent choice for gDNA elimination prior reverse transcription. It allows for dramatically simplified workflow which combines genomic DNA elimination and cDNA synthesis into one-tube procedure.
