Solid-phase Synthesis of DNA and RNA
Relatively short fragments of DNA, RNA, and modified oligonucleotides are also synthesized by the solid-phase method. Although oligonucleotides can be synthesized in a flask, they are almost always synthesized on solid phase using a DNA/RNA synthesizer. For a more comprehensive review, see oligonucleotide synthesis.
