What is the affinity of hybridized DNA-RNA?

19 December 2017 0 6K Report

Does anyone know what the binding affinity of DNA-RNA hybrids is in contrast to dsDNA or dsRNA?

Maybe this will serve as a better question: Anyone have an idea of how well DNA-RNA hybrids might form in a mix of ssDNA & ssRNA that's capable of making dsDNA, dsRNA or hybrids.

Thanks Y'all!
