Abstract
DNA-targeting properties of heteroduplexes between intercalator-functionalized oligonucleotides and various Xeno RNAs (i.e., LNA/MOE mixmers, or fully modified MOE, O2'-Me, or 2'-F strands) are disclosed. Chimeric Invader:LNA/MOE probes and some single-stranded LNA/MOE mixmers enable efficient invasion of double-stranded DNA targets with exceptional binding specificity.
