摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of enzymatically synthesizing oligonucleotides. In particular, it relates to the use of 3'-ribonucleotide primers which effectively serve to initiate oligonucleotide synthesis, and can also be easily cleaved from synthesis products and reused in subsequent synthesis reactions.
摘要:
Lipid molecules bearing a cationic charge are described. These cationic lipids are useful in the delivery of biomolecules, such as oligonucleotides, nucleic acids, peptides, diagnostic imaging agents, proteins and drug molecules. In the form of liposomes, they can effectively be used for the intracellular delivery of biomolecules for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.

摘要:
A process for production of a single strand of a nucleic acid comprising covalently linking to a solid substrate a polynucleotide complementary to the desired strand, hybridizing said polynucleotide with an oligonucleotide, extending the oligonucleotide in direction away from said substrate, denaturing the hybridized polynucleotide and extended oligonucleotide, thereby to free the extended oligonucleotide from the solid substrate, and separating the extended oligonucleotide. The product can be used for making analytical probes.
摘要:
A solid support capable of binding a nucleic acid thereto upon suitable irradiation, comprising (a) a solid substrate, (b) a photochemically reactive intercalator compound or other nucleic acid-binding ligands, and (c) divalent radical chemically linking the substrate and the ligand (b). Specifically, a hydroxy group-containing solid substrate such as nitrocellulose paper is linked via a bifunctional reagent such as cyanogen bromide or 1,4-butanedioldiglycidyl ether to an amino-substituted angelicin or psoralen or ethidium bromide which in turn is photochemically linked to a nucleic acid. The resulting immobilized nucleic acid probe is capable of hybridizing with complementary nucleic acid fragments and is thereby useful in diagnostic assays.
摘要:
Methods for amplifying target nucleic acid sequences using a nucleic acid polymerase lacking 5′ exonuclease activity and a set of oligonucleotide primers. Preferably, a primer array is used. The primer array contains two sets of primers. One set contains at least two complementary primers. The other set contains at least two sense primers. Using the described methods amplification can be carried out under essentially constant environmental conditions without the requirement for exonuclease activity or restriction endonuclease activity.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for analyzing nucleic acids. In particular, the invention provides for methods and combinations for analyzing nucleic acids in a plurality of samples using a plurality of detectably different signature labels and a probe that is hybridizable to each of the target nucleic acids. The invention also provides for a method for quantifying a nucleic acid by analyzing the amount of a label, e.g., a photoactivatable label, attached to the target nucleic acid.
摘要:
The present invention provides a cocktail of reagents for nucleic acid amplification that are stabilized by inclusion of a reversible inhibitor of undesirable reactions. Such cocktail of reagents eliminates the requirement for separate preparation and quality control of each reagent used in a reaction. Methods to prepare stabilized cocktails and to use stabilized cocktails also are included. The stabilized cocktail compositions also can include reagents to release nucleic acid from cells and to label the nucleic acid, allowing detection of nucleic acid in a sample with a single reagent addition step. The invention also provides kits for performing the above methods.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of cleaving phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. In particular, it relates to the use of certain restriction endonucleases to cleave phosphorothioate oligonucleotides which contain restriction endonuclease recognition sequences. These restriction sequences can be used to facilitate the cleavage of relatively cleavage resistant phosphorothioate oligonucleotides thus facilitating their separation and purification after synthesis.
