4′-SelenoDNA fragments were synthesized for the first time using 4′-selenothymidine triphosphate (SeTTP) by taking advantage of its bioequivalence against DNA polymerases. DNA fragments each with a homologous element (O, S or Se) at the 4′-position of the thymidine units were effectively amplified using KOD Dash DNA polymerase.
