NCIt definition : Laboratory procedure in which single stranded nucleic acids are allowed to interact
so that complexes, or hybrids, are formed by molecules with sufficiently similar,
complementary sequences. By this means the degree of sequence identity can be assessed
and specific sequences detected. (From Biology-online);
