ABSTRACT:
Modified LNA units are provided that comprises unique base groups. Desirable nucleobase and nucleosidic base substitutions can mediate universal hybridization when incorporated into nucleic acid strands. The novel LNA compounds may be used in a wide variety of applications, such as PCR primers, sequencing, synthesis of antisense oligonucleotides, diagnostics and the like.
