G-Quadruplex formation using fluorescent oligonucleotides as a detection method for discriminating AGG trinucleotide repeats
Keyword(s):
A fluorescent oligonucleotide probe induces the formation of intermolecular G-quadruplexes with AGG trinucleotide repeats. The probe also exhibits 35.0- and 44.7-fold enhanced fluorescence signals for DNA AGG and RNA agg repeat oligonucleotides with respect to the low background signal.
