Oligonucleotide probes are short stretches of single-stranded DNA or RNA used to detect the presence of complementary nucleic acid sequences (target sequences) by hybridization. Oligonucleotide ...
Several tried-and-tested methods can be used to detect single-stranded DNA, but there are no reliable ... and designed a double-stranded oligonucleotide with these recognition sites.
Here's how it worked: Data, 0 or 1, was represented by a short piece of single-stranded DNA, called an oligonucleotide, that contained a series of bases: adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.
