OLIGO(DT)23, ANCHORED

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.
