Abstract

Abstract Substantially pure single-stranded oligonucleotides having a preselected sequence of not more than about 200 nucleotides, at least one of which is at a preselected position in the sequence and includes a base with a covalently attached linker arm containing or capable of binding at least one reporter group or solid support. A process for the chemical synthesis of the substantially pure single-stranded oligonucleotide and modified nucleosides useful in such synthesis are provided.
