title: Synthesis of poly d(G-C) oligonucleotides.
abstract: Model sequences for evaluation of the GC dimer sequence repetition on synthesis success were prepared and analyzed by HPLC. Contiguous d(G-C) or d(C-G) sequences have a deleterious effect on DNA oligonucleotide synthesis. The critical number seems to be about 6 GCs in a row. If the GCs are separated by other nucleotides, the effect is not as severe.
