The temperature required to anneal a particular steel depends on the type of annealing to be achieved and the constituents of the alloy. (23 words)
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal, the melting temperature is not a factor to consider within the normal temperature range of the ligation reaction. (29 words)
