Embodiments are directed to methods for joining oligonucleotides. The methods include joining together one or more oligonucleotides by reacting an alkyne group linked to an oligonucleotide with an azide group linked to an oligonucleotide to form a triazole linkage. The alkyne group is a strained alkyne group. The methods can include ligating together ends of one or more oligonucleotides or cross-linking strands of an oligonucleotide duplex to form the triazole linkage. The methods described allow oligonucleotide strands to be ligated together without the need for a ligase enzyme. The methods can be useful for joining together single strands of DNA, cross-linking complementary strands, cyclizing single and double strands, labeling oligonucleotides with reporter groups, attaching DNA to surfaces, producing analogs of DNA with modified nucleobases and backbones, synthesizing large chemically modified RNA constructs, and creating biochemically active PCR templates.
本发明实施例涉及连接寡核苷酸的方法。这些方法包括通过与寡核苷酸连接的炔基与与寡核苷酸连接的叠氮基反应形成三唑连接,从而将一个或多个寡核苷酸连接在一起。炔基是一种受约束的炔基。这些方法可包括将一个或多个寡核苷酸的末端连接在一起,或将寡核苷酸双链的链交联以形成三唑连接。所述方法可将寡核苷酸链连接在一起,而无需使用连接酶。这些方法可用于连接 DNA 单链、交联互补链、环化单链和双链、用报告基团标记寡核苷酸、将 DNA 连接到表面、生产具有修饰核碱基和骨架的 DNA 类似物、合成大型化学修饰 RNA 构建体以及创建具有生化活性的 PCR 模板。
