Abstract
The present invention provides novel algorithms for designing oligonucleotides that do not substantially hybridize to a small group of unwanted transcripts, while hybridizing to most other transcripts. Such oligonucleotides are particularly useful as primers for reverse transcription. The invention also provides compositions containing oligonucleotides that do not substantially hybridize to a small group of unwanted transcripts, while hybridizing to most other transcripts.
