Article Abstract:

Alexander Rich, who discovered RNA hybridization in 1956 and the other double helix, describes its importance to biology. The simple hybridization reaction has made possible most of the molecular biological revolution. The human use of hybridization to understand biology and harness it for both biological and nonbiological tasks will continue to develop.
