title: Incorporation of cationic dyes into DNA for distinct stabilization of duplex.
abstract: In this study, cationic dyes (methylstilbazole) were introduced into ODN. When two complementary ODNs, both of which tethered this dye, were hybridized, the melting temperature drastically increased. The duplex was further stabilized by introducing multiple dyes.
