This base-to-base bonding is not random; rather, each A in one strand always pairs with a T in the other strand, and each C always pairs with a G. The double-stranded DNA that results from this ...

Such probes are sensitive, even to single base differences in target DNA. Freed from the constraint of needing hydrogen bonding to achieve rapid, high-fidelity DNA synthesis, one may be able to ...
