In this paper, we describe detailed methods for the synthesis, purification, and quantification of 5'-fluorescent-dye-labeled oligonucleotides. The relationship of specific and nonspecific dye attachment to synthetic oligonucleotides is discussed, and the importance of primer design is considered as a way to prevent chemical problems from interfering with biological reactions.}, URL = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/2/3/223.abstract}, eprint = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/2/3/223.full.pdf+html}, journal = {Genome Research} }
