Can't (under)stand the heat?

The demand for assays to detect and quantify specific DNA or RNA sequences is growing rapidly. Whether screening blood for pathogens, characterizing gene transcription patterns, or studying the relationship between genotype and phenotype, scientists are continually looking for ways to efficiently scale their investigations and refine their measurements. Generally, these genomic assays require carefully designed oligonucleotide primers and probes that are mixed with genomic samples to detect DNA or RNA targets. As genomic assays become more complex, hybridization software becomes hotter.
