Abstract excerpt
Novel fluorescent oligonucleotides that contain a 3' minor groove binding group (MGB) hybridize to single-stranded targets with increased sequence-specificity compared to ordinary DNA probes. This reduces non-specific probe hybridization and results in low background fluorescence during the 5' nuclease PCR assay (TaqMan, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). We developed a method for closed-tube genotyping using...
