ROSO: optimizing oligonucleotide probes for microarrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED ROSO is software to design optimal oligonucleotide probe sets for microarrays. Selected probes show no significant cross-hybridization, no stable secondary structures and their Tm are chosen to minimize the Tm variability of the probe set. AVAILABILITY The program is available on the internet. Sources are freely available, for non-profit use, on request to the authors. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/roso

An Efficient Covalent Coating on Glass Slides for Preparation of Optical Oligonucleotide Microarrays
Objective(s): Microarrays are potential analyzing tools for genomics and proteomics researches, which is in needed of suitable substrate for coating and also hybridization of biomolecules. Materials and Methods: In this research, a thin film of oxidized agarose was prepared on the glass slides which previously coated with poly-L-lysine (PLL). Some of the aldehyde groups of the activated aga...
متن کاملAssessment of the sensitivity and specificity of oligonucleotide (50mer) microarrays.
To examine the utility and performance of 50mer oligonucleotide (oligonucleotide probe) microarrays, gene-specific oligonucleotide probes were spotted along with PCR probes onto glass microarrays and the performance of each probe type was evaluated. The specificity of oligonucleotide probes was studied using target RNAs that shared various degrees of sequence similarity. Sensitivity was defined...
متن کاملOptimization of single-base-pair mismatch discrimination in oligonucleotide microarrays.
The discrimination between perfect-match and single-base-pair-mismatched nucleic acid duplexes was investigated by using oligonucleotide DNA microarrays and nonequilibrium dissociation rates (melting profiles). DNA and RNA versions of two synthetic targets corresponding to the 16S rRNA sequences of Staphylococcus epidermidis (38 nucleotides) and Nitrosomonas eutropha (39 nucleotides) were hybri...
متن کاملFabrication of DNA microarrays using unmodified oligonucleotide probes.
Microarrays printed on glass slides are often constructed by covalently linking oligonucleotide probes to a derivatized surface. These procedures typically require relatively expensive amine- or thiol-modified oligonucleotide probes that add considerable expense to larger arrays. We describe a system by which unmodified oligonucleotide probes are bound to either nonderivatized or epoxy-silane-d...
متن کاملOligonucleotide microarrays for the study of coastal microbial communities.
DNA microarrays are well suited as a tool for analyzing functional gene diversity as well as community composition in aquatic environments. Microarrays allow for the semi-quantitative characterization of target genes by means of specific hybridization of labeled target gene sequences, amplified from the environment, to the corresponding oligonucleotide probes on the slide. Specificity and sensi...
