Array Designer
Comprehensive Tool
Array Designer is a comprehensive desktop tool to efficiently design hundreds of specific oligos for SNP detection or
expression studies or hundreds of PCR
primer pairs for cDNA microarrays. You can
efficiently retrieve, analyze and store data.
Arrays for the Post-sequencing Era
Whole Genome Arrays: With Array
Designer you can study entire organisms
effortlessly by detecting every gene or
exon in the whole genome, characterizing transcriptomes, discovering differentially and
alternatively spliced transcripts, SNP discovery and genotyping, DNA sequence
variation in individuals or populations and comparative genome hybridization (CGH).
Tiling Arrays: You can even design tiling arrays to spot every base of a long genomic
sequence, avoiding repetitive regions. Designing arrays to characterize regulatory
elements, or to study epigenetic odifications, methylation patterns and protein
binding sites has never been so easy.
Resequencing Arrays: Array Designer designs resequencing arrays with which you
can detect SNP and other sequence variations in a large number of samples for
applications such as biowarfare pathogen studies, predisposition and resistance to
disease or discovering the genetic basis of phenotypic traits. With a unique feature
which we call "Project BLAST", you can identify and avoid the homologous regions that
create false positives.
Design Highly Specific Oligos
To ensure specific amplification and exact detection, Array Designer designs highly
specific PCR primers and oligos by automatically avoiding regions of significant cross
homologies identified during a BLAST search against a private local database or the
genomic public databases available at NCBI. For a whole genome sequence, Array
Designer automatically creates a local custom database of the input sequence and
BLAST searches every fragment against it. To verify the specificity of design, you can
BLAST the designed oligos.
Beyond NCBI Database Support
When working with confidential or publicly unavailable sequences, you can set up a
local database either on a Unix based server for institution-wide access or on a PC for
your own convenience.
