Assignee: CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC C  G | IPC C  G

Claim 0:
1. A genetic recognition reagent, comprising:
a nucleic acid analog backbone, wherein the nucleic acid analog backbone comprises:
a first end and a second end, and
three to eight units, wherein each unit is independently a nucleic acid analog backbone residue;

a plurality of nucleobases wherein each nucleobase of the plurality of nucleobases is independently linked to a unit of the three to eight units, wherein the plurality of nucleobases has a sequence that is complementary to a target sequence of a target nucleic acid;
a first aryl moiety linked by a linker to the first end of the nucleic acid analog backbone; and
a second aryl moiety, linked by a linker to the second end of the nucleic acid analog backbone, wherein the first aryl moiety or the second aryl moiety stacks with an aryl moiety of an adjacent recognition reagent when the genetic recognition reagent and the adjacent recognition reagent are hybridized to adjacent target sequences of the target nucleic acid.
