Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of replacing nucleotides in target nucleic acid sequences using DNA-LNA chimeras. The method of the present invention provides for replacing a first nucleotide in a target sequence by exposing the target sequence to a DNA-LNA heteropolymer and thereby replacing the first nucleotide with a second nucleotide. The invention also features the DNA-LNA chimeras themselves as well as methods of making them.
