OLIGONUCLEOTIDE LIGATION
-
Paragraph 0158, (2013/09/12)
A method for joining oligonucleotides. The method includes joining together one or more oligonucleotides by reacting an alkyne group lined to an oligonucleotide with an azide group linked to an oligonucleotide to form a triazole linkage. The alkyne group is a strained alkyne group. The method can include ligating together ends of one or more oligonucleotides or cross-linking strands of an oligonucleotide duplex. The methods described allow oligonucleotide strands to be ligated together without the need for a ligase enzyme.
