Component Semantics:

Oligonucleotide
Definition: A molecular chain of nucleotides chemically bonded by a series of phosphodiester linkages. Alberts:ECB:G-14. Arbitrarily defined in this KB to be between 3 and 49 nucleotides long, longer nucleotide sequences are called polynucleotides. Note: the current lengths are arbitrary. All source so far consulted just say a 'short' nucleotide sequence. Souther.
