Effects of various fluorochromes and competition between labeled oligonucleotides on their hybridization to oligonucleotides immobilized on biological microchips
Ey. Kotova et al., Effects of various fluorochromes and competition between labeled oligonucleotides on their hybridization to oligonucleotides immobilized on biological microchips, MOL BIOL, 34(2), 2000, pp. 207-214
Some technical tips are described on how to improve the discrimination betw
een perfect and imperfect duplexes formed by hybridization of fluorescently
labeled oligonucleotides to biological microchips. Model experiments were
performed to assess the precision of the method. Effects of labeling on the
efficiency of hybridization and some properties of competitive hybridizati
on were studied using short synthetic oligonucleotides and three most popul
ar fluorochromes as examples.
