Sequences of anthraquinone modified DNA probe and target DNA for the groEL gene target of Y. pestis.

DNA PROBE
YP1	XXX-HEG-5′-GTACCGTCACCCGCAGCATCATTT-3′-AQ
TARGET DNA
Y. pestis	5′-AAATGATGCTGCGGGTGACGGTAC-3′
Y. pseudotuberculosis	5′-GAATGACGCTGCGGGTGACGGTAC-3′
Y. enterolytica	5′-GAACGACGCTGCGGGTGACGGTAC-3′

Underlined bases in target DNA sequences denote mismatches to probe YP. XXX indicates three dithiol linker and HEG is hexaethylene glycol.
