AlleleID®

Design qPCR and Microarray Assays for Related Organisms

AlleleID® is a comprehensive desktop tool designed to address the challenges of bacterial identification, pathogen detection or species identification. With ClustalW multiple sequence alignment at its core, AlleleID® can be used to design species identification/cross species probes for microarrays or real time PCR including SYBR® Green, TaqMan® MGB, TaqMan® probes, Molecular Beacons and real time PCR primers. AlleleID® also offers support for designing microarray experiments for detecting alternative splicing events.




Species Identification Assays/Cross Species Assays/Allele Identification Assays

AlleleID® aligns sequences using ClustalW and analyzes conserved and species specific regions. You can then use the program for real time PCR primer design (SYBR® Green primer design included) and dual labeled probe design (TaqMan® probes, TaqMan® MGB probes and molecular beacons). These assays are designed to detect only the strain (strain detection) or species of interest from the mix.

Sophisticated Algorithms for Assay Success

Highly specific oligos are designed by avoiding regions of significant homologies found by automatically interpreting BLAST search results. Real time PCR primer & probe efficiency is enhanced by avoiding template secondary structures. "Minimal Set", one of the most innovative features in the program, helps design the fewest number of allele specific oligonucleotide primers and dual labeled probes that uniquely identify each of the desired species/strain/taxa from the mix, lowering assay costs. For taxa or cross species assays, this feature is especially useful when the group or taxa is highly dissimilar. For a partial set of pre-designed, proven set of primers, AlleleID® can design compatible primers and probes for the rest of sequences for species identification or taxa specific assays.
