Heteroduplexes with both chains fully methylated were refractory to repair, but in the heteroduplexes with one completely methylated and one unmethylated strand the frequency of repair on the latter was 100%.
In Instrumental Biology, or the Disunity of Science, Alexander Rosenberg argues that while physics and chemistry can develop laws that reveal the structure of natural phenomena, biology is fated to be a practical, instrumental discipline.
