Methods are provided for substantially reducing background signals encountered in nucleic acid hybridization assays. The method is premised on the elimination or significant reduction of the phenomenon of nonspecific hybridization, so as to provide a detectable signal which is produced only in the presence of the target polynucleotide of interest. In addition, a novel method for the chemical synthesis of isoguanosine or 2'-deoxy-isoguanosine is provided. The invention also has applications in antisense and aptamer therapeutics and drug discovery.
本发明提供了大幅降低核酸杂交试验中背景信号的方法。该方法的前提是消除或显著减少非特异性杂交现象,从而提供仅在目标多核苷酸存在时才会产生的可检测信号。此外,本发明还提供了一种
