Study shows how two matching DNA strands hybridize to generate double-stranded DNA

Nanoscientists and theoretical physicists from UNSW Medicine & Health’s EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science collaborated to decipher the intricate mechanics of determining how quickly two matched strands of DNA may completely come together—or hybridize—to generate double-stranded DNA. Their results were reported in Nucleic Acids Research.
