Probe Sequence

index | previous question | next question

Can I use the Probe Match tool to determine if a probe set detects splice variants?

Yes, you can. To do this, use all the sequences corresponding to the splice variants of a gene as input for the Probe Match tool. Please note: Use caution when interpreting positive results, and when considering the total number of probes in a probe set that actually match the various isoforms. The total number of probes matching the query sequence is provided in the "# Probes Matching Query" column of the Probe Match output. Discard the results if the number of matching probes constitutes less than 70% of the total number of probes in a probe set.
