Benchling Dna Oligo API

Represents a short single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide in Benchling's molecular biology platform. DNA oligos are typically synthetic sequences used as primers for PCR, probes for hybridization assays, or components in cloning workflows. Each oligo stores its nucleotide base sequence, annotations for features of interest, and any chemical modifications (see ModifiedNucleotide) such as phosphorothioate backbones or fluorescent labels. Oligos can be registered in the Registry with unique identifiers, organized in folders, and linked to other entities via schema fields. Unlike DnaSequence, oligos are specifically designed for shorter, synthesizable sequences. Also referred to as primers or probes depending on their application.
