Transcriptome analysis using fluorescence-labeled oligonucleotide

Detection of acceptor sites for antisense oligonucleotides on native folded RNA by fluorescence-labeled oligonucleotide.

Pyrene-labeled 2'-O-methyloligoribonucleotide (OMUpy) and 5'-Ru(II) complex labeled oligodeoxyribonucleotie (Ru-probe) were prepared as the fluorescence probes to detect acceptor sites of antisense molecules on native folded RNA under the physiological condition. OMUpy showed the remarkable increase of the fluorescence intensity (334-fold at 375 nm) only when hybridized with complementary oligo...

Transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli using high-density oligonucleotide probe arrays.

Microarrays traditionally have been used to analyze the expression behavior of large numbers of coding transcripts. Here we present a comprehensive approach for high-throughput transcript discovery in Escherichia coli focused mainly on intergenic regions which, together with analysis of coding transcripts, provides us with a more complete insight into the organism's transcriptome. Using a whole...

Mutational analysis using oligonucleotide microarrays.

The development of inexpensive high throughput methods to identify individual DNA sequence differences is important to the future growth of medical genetics. This has become increasingly apparent as epidemiologists, pathologists, and clinical geneticists focus more attention on the molecular basis of complex multifactorial diseases. Such undertakings will rely upon genetic maps based upon newly...

RNA sequencing using fluorescent-labeled dideoxynucleotides and automated fluorescence detection.

Although dideoxy terminated sequencing of RNA, using reverse transcriptase and oligodeoxynucleotide primers, is now a well established method, the accuracy is limited by sequence ambiguities due to unspecific chain termination events. A protocol is described which circumvents these ambiguities by using fluorescence labels tagged to dideoxynucleotides. Only chain terminations caused by dideoxynu...
