[edit] RNA hybridization?
I saw that hybridisation (molecular biology) redirects here. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Molecular hybridization would also include RNA probes (e.g. labeled by in-vitro transcription) and RNA-RNA and RNA-DNA hybridization on Northern and Southern blots. - tameeria 17:43, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, we need to rename and add stuff about the other kinds of nucleic acid hybridisation. (Million_Moments 14:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC))
[edit] Requested move
I'm suggesting to move this page to nucleic acid hybridization since that is the term I have found in intro-bio textbooks. Alternatively, I propose to exchange the content of this page and hybridisation (molecular biology). If anyone has any concerns or comments, please voice them here. - tameeria 19:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
This article has been renamed from DNA hybridization to nucleic acid hybridization as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 11:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hybridization or anealing?!
I'm one of the users of this entry and I wanted to understand what the hybridization is. I started read the entry and then I saw this sentence right after the defining sentence: "This is called annealing." I said "what?!". So is hybridization an annealing? Are they synonims? Or maybe one is a subset of the other. This definition is so ambigous. I think I have to go some other place for the definition.
[edit] Homology
In the see also section, there is a link to the disambiguation page for homology. Not being a biologist, I can see several options on that page that might be relevant to this page - Homology (biology) and Homology modeling. Could someone who knows more about the subject please link it directly to the one that is correct? Thanks, Kastrel (talk) 14:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC), 25th March 2008
