Probe Mining-Stellaris
Designing another set of probes for dystrophin. Some of the other probe designing software takes a little while, but [1] can generate a series of 20mer probes real quick. So I'm using that to design a few probes for the dystrophin gene that can be detected quickly. I'll be using a sparing amount for now, ordering 32 probes with an Amino modifier on the 5' end. This will allow the probes to utilize the ARES technology, and I should be able to generate a FISH experiment with only dye labeling step followed by purification and FISH (no DpnII or Lambda exonuclease).
Workflow
- Obtained CDS region of dystrophin gene using UCSC genome browser
- Took first 8000bp (Stellaris maximum) and generated a 32bp probe set
- Probe list, columns: probe# sequence startpos GCcontent
