HYBRIDIZATION - (Jul/06/2001 )

Anybody who assumes that all readers are male should stay confused, so drop the "Sir" and you double your chances of somebody wanting to help you.

Sir, I am unable to understand whether "internal mismatches" in hybridization(southern blot), refer to mismatches between the oligonucleotide probeand the target DNA of interest or does it indicate dimerization between the oligo probes themselves.I am extremely confused with this and I will be really grateful if you can enlighten me on this. Thanking you, chiradeep.
