ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of designing target-specific hybridization sequences which include one or more mutations. The method of the invention comprises selecting a candidate target nucleotide sequence in a subject nucleotide sequence. A first complementary nucleotide sequence to the target nucleotide sequence is identified by applying the known bonding relationships of the nucleotides. Next, a second complementary nucleotide sequence having one or more mutations is constructed. The amount of the “target-second complementary nucleotide sequence” hybrid formed when the candidate target nucleotide sequence and second complementary nucleotide sequences are combined in the presence of interfering sequences is characterized and used to assess utility of the second complementary nucleotide sequence. The present invention also provides the target-specific hybridization sequences designed by the methods of the invention.
