Abstract

The invention is directed to novel compositions and methods for nonenzymatic ligation of oligonucleotides. In one aspect of the invention, the nonenzymatic ligation is selenium-mediated or tellurium mediated ligation. In another aspect, the invention provides for the use of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to detect the nonenzymatic ligation.
