DNAPROBE, a computer program which generates oligonucleotide probes from protein alignments.
We describe a program to assist in designing oligonucleotide probes on the basis of protein alignments and the codon usage of the target organism. If necessary, the input sequences can be weighted to neutralise the effect of closely similar sequences or to bias the output in favour of a particular taxon.
متن کاملOligo Design: a computer program for development of probes for oligonucleotide microarrays.
Oligonucleotide microarrays have demonstrated potential for the analysis of gene expression, genotyping, and mutational analysis. Our work focuses primarily on the detection and identification of bacteria based on known short sequences of DNA. Oligo Design, the software described here, automates several design aspects that enable the improved selection of oligonucleotides for use with microarra...
متن کاملBIGPROBE: a computer program that predicts the sequence of long oligonucleotide probes with high reliability.
We have written a computer program, BIGPROBE, which facilitates the design of long nucleic acid probes from the partial or complete amino acid sequence of a protein. BIGPROBE relies upon information on codon usage, intercodon dinucleotide frequency, and potential probe self-complementarity. We have examined the accuracy with which the program predicts coding sequences using sample human and rat...
متن کاملSelection of Oligonucleotide Probes for Protein Coding Sequences
MOTIVATION Large arrays of oligonucleotide probes have become popular tools for analyzing RNA expression. However to date most oligo collections contain poorly validated sequences or are biased toward untranslated regions (UTRs). Here we present a strategy for picking oligos for microarrays that focus on a design universe consisting exclusively of protein coding regions. We describe the constra...
متن کاملComputer program for the IBM personal computer which searches for approximate matches to short oligonucleotide sequences in long target DNA sequences
We describe a program which may be used to find approximate matches to a short predefined DNA sequence in a larger target DNA sequence. The program predicts the usefulness of specific DNA probes and sequencing primers and finds nearly identical sequences that might represent the same regulatory signal. The program is written in the C programming language and will run on virtually any computer s...
