Abstract

Sequencing by hybridization is a technique that relies on the specific hybridization properties of nucleic acids to derive sequence information. Hybridization properties are highly dependent on the DNA sequence and the solution environment. Identification of the optimal SBH conditions can be obtained by optical melting. By optical melting of 128 octamer pairs that have the appropriate choice of nucleic acid structures, a useful model of stability has been obtained which will aid in the design and implementation of SBH assays.
