Oligonucleotide microchips have been tested as diagnostics of genetic
hybridization diseases. Several methods have been evaluated for the preparation of
hybridization probes.
Full article >>>Oligonucleotide A short
sequence of poly
nucleotide.
Oligonucleotides with a defined
sequence can synthesized in vitro for use for a
variety of techniques, including
PCR,
DNA sequence ana
lysis,
hybridization, and
site-directed
mutagenesis.
Full article >>>Oligonucleotide, short
sequence of single-
stranded
DNA or
RNA. Oligos are often used as
probes for detecting
complementary DNA or
RNA because they bind readily to their
complements.
