| Hybridization | The process of joining two complementary strands of DNA or one each of DNA and RNA to form a double-stranded molecule. One strand is often labeled and used as a probe to detect the presence of the second strand. Cf. hybrid. |
| Complementary DNA (cDNA) | DNA that is synthesized from a messenger RNA template that corresponds to expressed sequences of genomic DNA. The term complementary DNA also may refer to DNA that is complementary to a particular DNA sequence. The single-stranded form is often used as a probe in physical mapping. |
| Hybrid | A cross-bred, heterozygot organism or cell, an individual from any cross involving parents of differing genotypes. Offspring of unlike parents.. In molecular genetics a DNA molecule with strands of different origin. Cf. hybridisation. |
