Hybridisation reactions are based on the ability of denatured DNA to anneal to a complementary strand present in a nearby environment at a temperature below that of theirs. The two important features of hybridisation are: (1) These reactions are specific i.e. the probe will only bind to targets with complementary sequence. (2) These reactions will […]
