We calculated the predicted melting profiles of evolutionary variants of SV40 and compared the nucleotide sequences of large T antigen binding sites and recombinant sites for homology. Neither is critically important in selecting a recombinant site for SV40-SV40 and SV40-cellular DNA fragments.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009693	Nucleic Acid Hybridization	Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
