title: Chemical synthesis of two deoxyribododecanucleotides for the attachment of restriction termini to an artificial minigene.
abstract: In order to permit in vivo cloning of an artificial minigene designed to code for a modified S-peptide, the phosphodiester method for the chemical synthesis of two dodecadeoxyribonucleotides is described. Each of the latter possesses antiparallel complementarity to one of the two minigene strands and to the single-stranded EcoRI-generated end. They can thus serve as cohesive termini ("splints") for polynucleotide ligase joining.
