Abstract
A chimaeric oligonucleotide library for use in identifying an antisense binding site in a target mRNA, comprising a plurality of distinct chimaeric oligonucleotides capable of hybridizing to mRNA to form a duplex, the nucleotide sequences of which each have a common length of 7 to 20 bases and are generated randomly or generated from information characterizing the sequence of the target mRNA, wherein substantially all the nucleotide sequences of said common length which are present as sub-sequences in the target mRNA are present in the library, and wherein each nucleotide sequence comprises: a) a recognition region comprising a sequence of nucleotides which is recognizable by a duplex-cutting RNAase when hybridized to the mRNA, and b) a flanking region comprising a sequence of chemically-modified nucleotides which binds to the mRNA sufficiently tightly to stabilize the duplex for cutting of the mRNA in the duplex by the duplex-cutting RNAase, wherein the nucleotides constituting the flanking region are different from those constituting the recognition region, and wherein each oligonucleotide is protected against exonuclease attack.
