First Claim
Patent Images
1. A labeled polymerase extended PNA-DNA chimera comprising the structure:
-
Px-L-Ny 3′
Extension wherein;
P is independently a PNA monomer;
X is an integer from 5 to 15;
L represents a covalent linkage between P and N;
each N is independently a nucleotide;
y is an integer from 1-15; and
3′
Extension is the polymerase extension product comprising at least one non-radioisotopically labeled nucleotide wherein the label is selected from the group consisting of a fluorescent dye, a fluorescence quencher, a hybridization stabilizer, an energy-transfer dye pair, an electrophoretic mobility modifier, a chemiluminescent dye, an amino acid, a protein, a peptide, an enzyme and an affinity ligand.

Abstract
The invention provides methods and kits for primer extension of PNA-DNA chimera from template nucleic acids using polymerases, nucleotide 5′-triphosphates, and primer extension reagents. Structural requirements of the chimera for primer extension include 5 to 15 contiguous PNA monomer units, 3 or more contiguous nucleotides, and a 3′ hydroxyl terminus. The chimera and/or a nucleotide is labelled with fluorescent dyes or other labels. The methods include DNA sequencing, DNA fragment analysis, reverse transcription, mini-sequencing, chromosome labelling, amplification, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection.
