MatrixPlot: visualizing sequence constraints.

Abstract

UNLABELLED: MatrixPlot is a program for making high-quality matrix plots, such as mutual information plots of sequence alignments and distance matrices of sequences with known three-dimensional coordinates. The user can add information about the sequences (e.g. a sequence logo profile) along the edges of the plot, as well as zoom in on any region in the plot. AVAILABILITY: MatrixPlot can be obtained on request, and can also be accessed online at http://www. cbs.dtu.dk/services/MatrixPlot. CONTACT: gorodkin@cbs.dtu.dk

An olefin cross-metathesis approach to vinylphosphonate-linked nucleic acids.

[reaction: see text]. The synthesis of vinylphosphonate-linked nucleotide dimers has been achieved using an olefin cross-metathesis (CM) reaction as a key step. The 1,3-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidine-containing catalyst 5 (Grubbs' second-generation catalyst) was found to be the superior catalyst for this transformation. Both metathesis partners were readily available using known methodology, and the vinylphosphonate-linked dimer was produced with high levels of (E)-selectivity (>20:1) in 58% yield (70% based on recovered starting material).

Incorporation of alpha- and beta-LNA (locked nucleic acid) monomers in oligodeoxynucleotides with polarity reversals.

The thymidine monomers of LNA with both alpha- and beta-configuration are incorporated with polarity reversals (i.e., with 3'-3' and 5'-5' junctions) in oligodeoxynucleotides with beta- and alpha-configuration, respectively. A 5'-O-phosphoramidite of the beta-LNA monomer is synthesised. Large destabilisations of duplexes with both complementary DNA and RNA are observed for oligodeoxynucleotides containing the alpha-LNA monomer, whereas a duplex with complementary RNA of an alpha-oligodeoxynucleotide containing the beta-LNA monomer is not destabilised.
