Stringency
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being stringent.
Example Sentences:
(1) Moreover, nick-translated [32-P]-pCS75, which is a pUC9 derivative containing a PstI insert with L and S subunit genes (for RuBisCO) from A. nidulans, hybridizes at very high stringency with restriction fragments from chromosomal DNA of untransformed and transformed cells as does the 32P-labeled PstI fragment itself.
