title: Synthesis and primer properties of oligonucleotides containing 3'-deoxypsicothymidine units, labeled with fluorescein at the 1'-position.
abstract: Several analogues of the standard M13 sequencing primer that contain up to five 3'-deoxypsicothymidines, or one or two such units labeled with fluorescein at the 1'-position, have been prepared. All these oligonucleotides have been shown to prime the DNA-polymerase-catalyzed synthesis of DNA.
