Descriptor hibridación de ácidos nucleicos
Entry term(s) hibridación genómica
Scope note: Técnica, ampliamente usada, que aprovecha la capacidad de las secuencias complementarias en cadenas únicas de ADN y ARN de emparejarse unas con otras para formar una hélice doble. La hibridación puede tener lugar entre dos secuencias complementarias de ADN, entre un ADN con cadena única y un ARN complementario o entre dos secuencias de ARN. La técnica se utiliza para detectar y aislar secuencias específicas, medir la homología o definir otras características de una o ambas cadenas.

Scope note: 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. (Kendrew, Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology, 1994, p503)
