Definition of oligonucleotide in English:
 oligonucleotide
noun ˌɒlɪɡə(ʊ)ˈnjuːklɪətʌɪdˌäləɡōˈn(y)o͞oklēətīd
Biochemistry A polynucleotide whose molecules contain a relatively small number of nucleotides.
 Example sentencesExamples
-  Creation and purification of the double-labeled oligonucleotide is synthetically demanding.
 -  The purity of the double-stranded oligonucleotides was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
 -  Probes are typically fairly short sequences of DNA nucleotides, called oligonucleotides, made synthetically.
 -  Intermolecular tetrameric complexes are usually only formed by short oligonucleotides that contain single tracts of contiguous guanines.
 -  The latter is conjugated to primer oligonucleotides that are pre-annealed to a complementary circular oligonucleotide.
 -  On single-stranded oligonucleotides, all the guanines are oxidized to the same extent.
 -  In apoptosis, DNA is degraded into oligonucleotides with a few hundreds of basepairs that subsequently diffuse out of the nucleus.
 -  This was followed minutes later by the injection of the oligonucleotide complementary to the DNA strand immobilized on sphere S2.
 -  The unzipping direction (order of nucleotides unzipped) was controlled by the selection of oligonucleotides.
 -  The unmodified polynucleotides may be DNA, RNA or synthesized oligonucleotides.
 -  This problem would be enhanced using arrays composed of long oligonucleotides since only RNAs whose protected regions overlap with the oligo sequence would be identified.
 -  We have been examining the potential use of oligonucleotides to direct nucleotide exchanges in episomal and chromosomal genes.
 -  The peptides can be linked to a large protein or an oligonucleotide, which may then be carried through the cell membrane.
 -  The proper orientation and the sequence of the cloned oligonucleotides were checked by nucleotide sequencing.
 -  For single bulges in RNA oligonucleotides, the conformation usually depends on the nature of the flanking base pairs.
 -  One important application is gene therapy, where it is necessary to deliver a gene or a synthetic oligonucleotide into the cell.
 -  In vitro studies on novel DNA structures have mainly involved synthetic oligonucleotides based on naturally occurring sequences.
 -  Liposomal formulations of genetic drugs such as antisense oligonucleotides and plasmid DNA are difficult to achieve.
 -  These studies demonstrate that pre-existing cytosine methylation on oligonucleotides…
 -  The latter is generally restricted to oligonucleotides but offers higher specificity.
