1. A nucleoside analogue of the formula:

  • where Z is O, S, Se, SO NR9 or CH2, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the same or different and each is H, OH, F, NH2, N3, O-hydrocarbyl or a reporter moiety, R5 is OH or mono-, di- or tri-phosphate or -thiophosphate or corresponding boranophosphate, or one of R2 and R5 is a phosphoramidite or other group for incorporation in a polynucleotide chain, and M is;

    where X1, X2 and X3 are the same or different and each is C or N, when X3 is N, there is no R7 group, R6 and R7 are the same or different and each is H, NO2, CO, COR8, OR8, CN, O, CON(R8)2, COOR8, SO2R8, SO3R8, SR8, NHCHO, (CH2)nN(R8)2, halogen, or a reporter moiety, each of R8 and R9 is H or hydrocarbyl or a reporter moiety, and n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, provided that when R5 is not triphosphate, then the nucleoside analogue comprises a reporter moiety and provided that, when M is benzimidazolyl and a reporter moiety is absent, the M has the structure;

    and R6 is not H, and further provided that when M is;

    then R5 is not OH.
