  • Though hybridization of gDNA is already used for comparative genome hybridization or sequencing by hybridization, yet to the high cost of tiling strategies and important data filtering, its adaptation for use in environmental research poses great challenges in terms of specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility of hybridization. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • To prevent DNA denaturation during hybridization, the formamide concentration was reduced to 50\% and the hybridization temperature lowered to 45 °C. —  PLoS Biology: New Articles
  • Indicating a hybridization, an edge is placed between vertices (oligonucleotides or pairs) if the minimum free energy of hybridization, according to the nearest-neighbor model of duplex thermal stability, is less than some threshold value. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • After hybridization, the sections were washed in SSC 1×, 50\% formamide, 0. 1\% Tween-20 at 55°C twice for 20 min and treated with 10 µg / ml RNase A (USB, Cleveland, OH, USA) in Tris 10 mM (pH 8.0) containing 1 mM EDTA and 500 mM NaCl for 15 min at 37°C. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
