<p>The present invention provides arrays having associated modified oligonucleotides, methods of making such arrays, assays for using such arrays, and kits containing such arrays. In one embodiment, the arrays of the invention exhibit an increased binding affinity with complementary nucleic acids, and in particular with complementary RNA. In another embodiment, the associated nucleic acids of the array of the invention exhibit substantial acid resistance, allowing the arrays to be treated with low pH solutions. In another embodiment, the modified associated nucleic acids of the array of the invention exhibit substantial resistance to nuclease degradation.</p> |
