A method for the preparation of optimally labeled oligonucleotides wherein label-conjugated nucleotide triphosphates are incorporated into a nucleic acid sequence in a defined repetitive manner which allows for the optimal specific detectability of the oligonucleotide. The oligonucleotides of the present invention are useful in the assay of a wide variety of nucleic acid sequences, specifically wherever labeled nucleic acid probes are desired. |
