OligoDesign -- optimal design of LNA (locked nucleic acid) oligonucleotide capture probes for gene expression profiling
URL:
What you can do:
Design optimal LNA (locked nucleic acid) substituted oligonucleotides for functional genomics applications.
Highlights:
- The OligoDesign software features recognition and filtering of the target sequence by genome-wide BLAST analysis in order to minimize cross-hybridization with non-target sequences.
- Furthermore it includes routines for prediction of melting temperature, self-annealing and secondary structure for LNA substituted oligonucleotides, as well as secondary structure prediction of the target nucleotide sequence.
- Individual scores for all these properties are calculated for each possible LNA oligonucleotide in the query gene and the
- OligoDesign program ranks the LNA capture probes according to a combined fuzzy logic score and finally returns the top scoring probes to the user in the output.
