Abstract
Modification of DNA with reactive groups and their post-synthetic transformations are useful for labelling, imaging, bioconjugations and cross-linking with other (bio)molecules. This review summarizes the recent progress in this field and covers transformations of oxo groups, cycloadditions, conjugate additions, alkylations, cross-couplings and other reactions. Examples of applications are given and the practicability and scope of the reactions are discussed.
