Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules, encoding and regulating the expression of hereditary information within living organisms 1. The biological importance of nucleic acids has prompted the use of ...

Nucleic acid hybridization techniques offer a new approach to answer old, intractable questions in microbial ecology as well as new questions. These include characterization of the predominant, yet ...

Probes are short, single-stranded chains of nucleic acid that seek out and latch themselves to a complementary sequence of nucleic acids, often buried anonymously in a much larger section of DNA/RNA.
