Abstract
THE mechanism of DNA–RNA hybridization is not well understood, and several different approaches to the interpretation of experimental results have been proposed. One such approach1 seems to have gained fairly wide acceptance2–4. The purpose of this article is to show that this interpretation is not compatible with what is now known about the mechanism of the reaction.
