AKA a “lure set”, it’s when you pack a piece of tech like Gravity on Landorus-T. You do this to lure in Celesteela, Gravity on the switch, then your opponent has to either switch again or sack Cele.
I’m assuming you already know some basic molecular biology techniques.
I’m not huge into omics stuff, but just googling *genomics bait sets* suggests baits are essentially like primers in PCR: oligonucleotides (but more in the order of dozens to 100+ bases long) complimentary against specific sequences of interest to help select those sequences out of a sample. Because they’re decently large, you can reserve some part of these baits for barcoding purposes. Beyond that, I can’t really give specifics of how you’d use these, what (extra) data they help generate and how to interpret that.
And you’ll probably be using more than one of these at a time, yielding a set of baits = bait set.
