HYBRIDIZATION OF CHROMOSOMAL RNA TO NATIVE DNA*

Abstract

Chromosomal RNA, which is associated with chromosomal proteins in the chromosomes of higher organisms, possess the ability to hybridize to homologous native DNA. The proportion of native DNA thus hybridized is similar to the proportion of denatured DNA which hybridizes with chromosomal RNA, and both are similar to the proportions of chromosomal RNA and DNA in native chromatin.
