Hybridization as a Genetic Distance Meter

Atom · refreshed Search related

Hybridization exploits a simple physical principle: two complementary single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules will spontaneously bond into a double-stranded molecule. The strength of that bond serves as a direct proxy for genetic relatedness, letting scientists measure evolutionary distance between organisms without…
