WHAT DOES OLIGONUCLEOTIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Oligonucleotide

Oligonucleotides are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that have a wide range of applications in genetic testing, research, and forensics. Commonly made in the laboratory by solid-phase chemical synthesis, these small bits of nucleic acids can be manufactured with any user-specified sequence, and so are vital for artificial gene synthesis, polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, library construction and as molecular probes. In nature, oligonucleotides are usually found as small RNA molecules that function in the regulation of gene expression, or are degradation intermediates derived from the breakdown of larger nucleic acid molecules. Oligonucleotides are characterized by the sequence of nucleotide residues that make up the entire molecule. The length of the oligonucleotide is usually denoted by "-mer". For example, an oligonucleotide of six nucleotides is a hexamer, while one of 25 nt would usually be called a "25-mer". Oligonucleotides readily bind, in a sequence-specific manner, to their respective complementary oligonucleotides, DNA, or RNA to form duplexes or, less often, hybrids of a higher order.

Definition of oligonucleotide in the English dictionary

The definition of oligonucleotide in the dictionary is a polymer consisting of a small number of nucleotides.
