Genetic recognition reagents comprising bivalent nucleobases are provided that bind two strands of nucleic acid, such as an expanded repeat sequence associated with an expanded repeat disease. In one example the expanded repeat disease is a polyQ disease, such as Huntington's disease. Methods of use of the reagents are provided, including a method of binding nucleic acid, such as an expanded repeat sequence associated with an expanded repeat disease, a method of identifying the presence of a nucleic acid comprising an expanded repeat, and a method of treating an expanded repeat disease are provided.
提供了包含双价核碱基的基因识别试剂,能够结合两条核酸链,例如与扩增重复疾病相关的扩增重复序列。在一个示例中,这种扩增重复疾病是多聚Q疾病,如亨廷顿病。提供了试剂的使用方法,包括结合核酸的方法,例如与扩增重复疾病相关的扩增重复序列,识别包含扩增重复的核酸的方法,以及治疗扩增重复疾病的方法。
