The Anchored Oligo(dT)23 Primers have 23 thymidine residues and one G, C, or A residue (the anchor) at the 3′ end. This anchor ensures the oligo(dT)23 primer binds at the beginning of the message such that there are no long regions of unusable sequence. Anchored oligo(dT)23 primers may provide an advantage over standard oligo(dT) primers when generating cDNA from poly(A)+ RNA.
