[英文釋義] Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences,between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA,or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences,measure homology,or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
