Abstract
The invention provides methods to identify pRNA- and pDNA oligomer affinity pairs. Affinity pairs comprised of nucleic acid oligomers which demonstrate no cross-reactivity ('orthogonal') are designed using software and empirically verified by thermodynamic study and lateral flow testing. The design software uses a semi-random algorithm to build such sequences of nucleic acid oligomers based on user-input parameters for affinity strength and orthogonal stringency. These pairs can be applied for use in multi-analyte solid support and lateral flow diagnostic tests.
