Abstract: A method for investigating intra- and/or intermolecular interactions involving RNA is provided. The method includes a) synthesizing a RNA/DNA heteroduplex (RDH) comprising a RNA strand of interest paired to a DNA strand; b) binding a first end of the DNA strand and a corresponding first end of the RNA strand to a first element of a nanoscale manipulating device, and a second end of the DNA strand to a second element of the nanoscale manipulating device, leaving a second end of the RNA strand free; c) moving the first and second elements of the manipulating device apart from each other, stretching the DNA strand and causing the RNA strand to peel off the heteroduplex; and d) moving the first and second elements of the nanoscale manipulating device towards each other, allowing the DNA strand to relax and causing the RNA strand to bind again to it. Measurement of a force-displacement relationship during steps c) and d) provides information on intra- and/or intermolecular interactions involving the RNA strand.

Abstract: The invention relates to new in vitro methods for synthesising a polymer, particularly a polynucleotide molecule, having a pre-defined sequence of units such as nucleotides. For synthesising a polynucleotide molecule the methods involve a process of extending a polynucleotide synthesis molecule with a transfer nucleotide. The methods additionally involve repeating the extension process multiple times to iteratively extend the polynucleotide molecule with multiple transfer nucleotides to generate a new polynucleotide molecule having a pre-defined nucleotide sequence. The invention also relates to in vitro methods of joining multiple synthetic polynucleotides following synthesis to form larger synthetic polynucleotides, as well as devices and systems for performing the extension, synthesis and assembly methods of the invention.
