Advanced Methods
Degenerate Oligonucleotides• Short amino acid sequences can be used to create degenerate oligonucleotides.
• PCR primers
• Oligonucleotide probes
• Often important to determine the lease degenerate possible probe from a given sequence.
• Example: Arg-Leu-Met-Glu-Trp-Ile-Cys-Pro-Met-Leu– What sequence gives the least degenerate 17-mer primer?– What fold degeneracy does this primer have?– How does this compare with the fold-degeneracy of a probe that simply starts with the first amino acid in the
sequence?
• This example is solved for you on Weaver, page 77.
