Abstract: | Background In moderate-throughput SNP genotyping there was a gap in the workflow, between choosing a set of SNPs and submitting their
sequences to proprietary assay design software, which was not met by existing software. Retrieval and formatting of sequences
flanking each SNP, prior to assay design, becomes rate-limiting for more than about ten SNPs, especially if annotated for
repetitive regions and adjacent variations. We routinely process up to 50 SNPs at once. |
