A method for identifying a group of single-stranded oligonucleotides for self-assembly into a double-stranded polynucleotide, the group comprising a plurality of overlapping complementary oligonucleotides, wherein each overlap between complementary oligonucleotides is selected to have a melting temperature (Tm) that differs from the melting temperatures of all other overlapping complementary oligonucleotides in the group.

Method for producing double stranded polynucleotides based on oligonucleotides with selected and different melting temperatures

The present invention relates to chemical linkers and protecting groups, compounds and compositions containing the chemical linkers or protecting groups, and intermediates and processes that can be used to prepare them. The chemical linkers and protecting groups are based on pyrrolidine and piperidine activating groups, which undergo intramolecular cyclisation upon heating with release of carbon dioxide, thereby releasing the organic compound from a substrate. In particular, those chemical linkers and protecting groups are useful in the solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides according to the following representative schemes.
