short chain of up to 20 nucleotides
Oligonucleotide
Oligonucleotides] are short DNA or RNA molecules, oligomers, that have a wide range of applications in genetic testing, research, and forensics. Commonly made in the laboratory by solid-phase chemical synthesis, these small bits of nucleic acids can be manufactured as single-stranded molecules with any user-specified sequence, and so are vital for artificial gene synthesis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, library construction and as molecular probes. In nature, oligonucleotides are usually found as small RNA molecules that function in the regulation of gene expression (e.g. microRNA), or are degradation intermediates derived from the breakdown of larger nucleic acid molecules.
Oligonucleotide
A short DNA molecule composed of relatively few nucleotide bases.
Oligonucleotide
A short, synthetic DNA string used as a probe (as in SSOP) or primer (as in SSP) in molecular genetic studies.
