Method for the preparation of size marker for synthetic oligonucleotides

Journal Article · · Anal. Biochem.; (United States)
Terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase was used for the addition of (..cap alpha..-/sup 32/P)dCTP to the 3'-OH termini of oligo(dT)/sub 12-18/. A collection of oligonucleotides with chain lengths ranging continuously from 13-mer to over 100-mer was generated. The reaction mixture was then mixed with oligo(dT)/sub 12-18/ labeled with (..gamma..-/sup 32/P)ATP by T/sub 4/ polynucleotide kinase. A sequence ladder with the bottom base as 12-mer was then formed. These oligonucleotides served as size marker for the purification and identification of oligonucleotides on polyacrylamide gel.
