The cyanine dyes are among the oldest classes of synthetic compounds but continue to find
applications in a variety of fields. In many cases, the dyes act as fluorescent labels for …

Fluorogenic probes efficiently reduce non-specific background signals, which often results in
highly improved signal-to-noise ratios. Although this implies improved resolution …

The detection of double-stranded (ds) DNA by SYBR Green I (SG) is important in many
molecular biology methods including gel electrophoresis, dsDNA quantification in solution …

A sensitive assay for detecting double-stranded (ds) DNA in solution is described. This
assay employs a new dye, PicoGreen dsDNA quantitation reagent, which becomes …

The interaction of the fluorescent dye thiazole orange (TO) with nucleic acids is
characterized. It is found that TO binds with highest affinity to double‐stranded (ds) DNA [log …

DNA intercalators are widely used as fluorescent probes to visualize DNA and DNA
transactions in vivo and in vitro. It is well known that they perturb DNA structure and stability …

The absorption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence quantum yields, lifetimes and time‐
resolved fluorescence spectra are reported for nine different fluorescent DNA‐dyes. The …

Recent progress toward understanding the rheology of dilute solutions of flexible polymers
is reviewed, emphasizing experimental results from flows imaging single deoxyribonucleic …

New map** approaches construct ordered restriction maps from fluorescence microscope
images of individual, endonuclease-digested DNA molecules. In optical map**, molecules …

YOYO-1 is a fluorescent dye widely used for probing the statistical–mechanical properties of
DNA. However, currently contradicting data exist how YOYO-1 binding alters the DNA …
