Randomers are oligonucleotides composed of all possible sequences for a given length. The use of randomers began in the early 1980s when random hexamers were employed in radio labeling DNA probes. A later application was the use of random sequence primers to detect Random Amplifi ed Polymorphisms (RAPDs).
Today, random sequence oligonucleotides are being used to detect Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as well as small scale chromosome events, primarily insertions or deletions. Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) has been developed to elucidate genome-wide sequence copy-number variation (CNV) between diff erent genomes, such as the differential amplification or deletion of genetic regions between tumor DNA and normal DNA from neighboring unaffected tissue.
These applications demand that the oligonucleotides have consistent base composition and minimal lot-to-lot variation. IDT Randomers are made using an N-base phosphoramidite mixture that is carefully prepared in bulk to ensure that equal base representation is achieved. The batch is then tested by making test randomer oligos and checking actual base composition by enzymatic degradation and HPLC.
