oligodT20
OligodT20 is a synthetic oligonucleotide consisting of a 20-nucleotide sequence of thymine (T) residues. It is commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry research for various applications. The sequence of oligodT20 is 5'-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-3'. This oligonucleotide is often employed as a primer in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments, where its high affinity for complementary DNA or RNA strands facilitates efficient amplification of target sequences. Additionally, oligodT20 can be used in other techniques such as reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH) to study gene expression and localization. Its simplicity and versatility make oligodT20 a valuable tool in the study of nucleic acids and their functions.
