Abstract

The invention relates to novel chemically modified nucleic acids with enhanced lability towards solid supports, such as glass. These modified nucleic acids can be readily affixed to solid supports, for instance, a glass surface, without first derivatizing the glass surface. High-density microarrays based on these modified nucleic acids as well as methods for preparing these microarrays are also useful.
