DesignStudio Custom Assay Design Tool
Microarray Assay Designer
DesignStudio Microarray Assay Designer provides a simple and powerful method for evaluating loci and creating the most successful custom genotyping assays. Metrics returned by DesignStudio Software provide success prediction information, validation status, and minor allele frequencies from published studies. Users can interrogate virtually any markers for any species.
This web-based software tool is currently available for the following microarray products:
- Infinium iSelect Custom Genotyping BeadChips
- Infinium XT
- Add-on content for existing custom or commercial BeadChips
Sequencing Assay Designer
DesignStudio Sequencing Assay Designer provides dynamic feedback to optimize target region sequencing coverage, reducing the time required to design custom projects. Users can personalize and optimize content to fit the needs of their study.
This web-based software tool is currently available for the following targeted sequencing products:
- AmpliSeq for Illumina Custom Panels
- Illumina DNA Prep with Enrichment with Illumina Custom Enrichment Panel
- Nextera Rapid Capture Custom Enrichment
- TruSeq Targeted RNA Expression
