AlleleID®

Exon Junction Primer Design

Using AlleleID®, you can also design primers across exon junctions. The exons are identified by interpreting GenBank header annotations or by specifying them manually.

To selectively amplify cDNA from a mixture of cDNA and gDNA, the primers are designed such that at least one primer from a pair spans an exon junction. The primers are designed to anneal to mRNA or cDNA synthesized from it but not to genomic DNA.




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.
