An
oligonucleotide is a short chain of molecules called nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, which are molecules that carry genetic information. So, an
oligonucleotide is a small sequence of these building blocks that scientists and researchers use to study and manipulate genes and genetic material.
