In silico–designed nucleic acid probes and primers often do not achieve favorable specificity and sensitivity tradeoffs on the first try, and iterative empirical sequence-based optimization is needed, ...

The Hybrid Technique for Arborists, Rock, and Alpine Climbers demonstrates a versatile rope configuration that combines ...

Hybridization is most likely to occur in recently evolved species, yet these are the species in which it is most difficult to detect owing to strong genetic similarity deriving from their recently ...

Hybrid plants and animals have complicated genomes. A biologist has discovered a way to reveal their parent species. If you've ever kept a garden, you're probably familiar with hybrids, from ...

The two-hybrid screening method was originally based on the DNA binding domain of the transcription factor GAL4 from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is incapable of activating transcription ...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that ...
