Deoxynucleoside phosphoramidites—A new class of key intermediates for deoxypolynucleotide synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a new class of nucleoside phosphites is described, which are stable to normal laboratory conditions, are activated by mild acid treatment, and are observed to react essentially quantitatively with protected nucleosides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved free-energy parameters for predictions of RNA duplex stability

TL;DR: These parameters predict melting temperatures of most oligonucleotide duplexes within 5 degrees C, about as good as can be expected from the nearest-neighbor model.

Process for preparing polynucleotides
TL;DR: New and useful intermediate nucleotides bound to an inorganic polymer support, including the preparation thereof, and processes for the conversion to oligonucleotides which are especially useful for the synthesis of polynucleotide, particularly ribonucleic (RNA) and deoxyribonuclic acids (DNA) are presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of deoxyoligonucleotides on a polymer support
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene synthesis machines: DNA chemistry and its uses
TL;DR: Key innovations include solid-phase synthesis on silica-based supports and the development of stable deoxynucleoside phosphoramidites as synthons, which can now be synthesized rapidly and in high yield because of recent advances in nucleic acid chemistry.
