It was mentioned sometime

As its the reaction conditions or something like that

I only took it because I needed a third subject

There we go:

Reaction conditions - notably temperature, salt, and pH - that dictate the annealing of single- stranded DNA/ DNA, DNA/ RNA, and RNA/ RNA hybrids. At high stringency, duplexes form only between strands with perfect one- to- one complementarity; lower stringency allows annealing between strands with some degree of mismatch between bases. Susan A. Hagedorn [Life Sciences Dictionary]

aacceeeeghhllnooptrry

Stringency means, more or less, strictness

ACHECANEPHTEROLOGY?

another medical term?

Never heard it used in that sense

but i did see that in the google search too

I can see some entropy ... that's all

I don't know if that's a word, Nicky, but it ain't the one I had in mind

. I think Nighthawk would be more familiar - it is medical but you'd know it if you've watched ER or casualy

Medical words are more fun :p

Well, after you've figured out this one, try:

ptootpsorepsquidpsealionpapebashmoohioi

All one word.

Think of words ending in -gry. 'Angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language? You use it every day, and if you were reading carefully, I've just told you what it is.

I like that one

If you know it already dont say the answer

give people who haven't heard it a chance

The third word is "words"?
