Initiation of isothermal helicase-dependent amplification of a rpoB gene sequence by RNase H2-mediated cleavage of blocked DNA primers.
IDT MiniGene constructs were used as microRNA (miR) sponges against miR-17, miR-18a, miR-19, and miR-92. The sequences were also designed with 5′ Xho1 and 3′ EcoR1 sites for subcloning into other vectors by restriction digest.

Ultramer Oligonucleotides were used for BAC mutagenesis via a two-step l–red mediated recombination strategy.
IDT MiniGene synthetic genes were engineered for use in transcription factor binding assays. Mutant sites were created for Sp1, HNF-1, and NF-Y and the MiniGene synthetic genes were provided in pIDTSMART-KAN vectors.
Use of an RNA aptamer–siRNA chimera that triggers sequence-specific degradation of HIV RNAs to suppress HIV-1 replication and prevent CD4+ T cell depletion in humanized mice.
