  • Patent number: 10227641
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for improving specificity during amplification of a target DNA sequence. The methods and compositions rely upon the use of an RNase H enzyme, a polymerase, and RNase H enzyme-sensitive, blocked-cleavable oligonucleotide primers in the amplification reactions, wherein the reaction mixtures include either an optimized final concentration of a divalent metal salt comprising 2.0 mM or less of free Mg++ cation and/or an optimized final concentration of a non-ionic detergent comprising at least about 0.001% polyethylene glycol hexadecyl ether.

  • Publication number: 20190002865
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to novel oligonucleotide compounds for use in various biological assays, such as nucleic acid amplification, ligation and sequencing reactions. The novel oligonucleotides comprise a ribonucleic acid domain and a blocking group at or near the 3? end of the oligonucleotide. These compounds offer an added level of specificity previously unseen. Methods for performing nucleic acid amplification, ligation and sequencing are also provided. Additionally, kits containing the oligonucleotides are also disclosed herein.
