Premier Biosoft International has announced the worldwide release of AlleleID version 7.50.
AlleleID employs a powerful algorithm to align sequences and identify unique regions in each, enabling Xmap users to design strain differentiation assays.
The capture probes are located in each region and checked for multiplexing for use in bead-based suspension arrays, based on Luminex's Xmap technology.
Single-template assays are also supported, wherein oligos are designed for rapid and high-throughput SNP genotyping assays, particularly useful for population studies.
AlleleID enables use of pre-designed oligos and designs a multiplex set compatible with them, saving costs.
Included is a database of Microplex Xtags (formerly known as Flexmap Tags) for automatic addition of appropriate tags to Allele Specific Primer Extension primers.
