Abstract

Several efficient means for joining oligonucleotides in dilute solution by non-natural internucleotide bridges are discussed. It is also shown that an oligonucleotide contaning a -OP(O)(O')S- link can function as an effective template in PCR amplification and that oligonucleotide probes containing stilbenedicarboxamide groups can serve in monitoring the presence of mismatched bases in an oligonucleotide target.
