Oligonucleotides

Oligonucleotides are short segments of DNA or RNA molecules, typically around 15 to 25 bases in length. They are used by scientists to study the structure and function of genes through techniques such as DNA and RNA sequencing, gene splicing, and gene expression. Oligonucleotides have become invaluable tools in biomedical research and the development of biotechnologies, particularly in the areas of genomics, genetic engineering, and gene therapies. In addition, they are also used as probes to detect various diseases such as cancer and viral infections.
