Software Description

Beacon Designer designs optimum qPCR oligo sets: For molecular beacon, TaqMan, LNA, NASBA, FRET, Scorpions and SYBR Green Compatible sets for multiplex reactions Unique cross homology avoidance to ensure specificity Template secondary structure avoidance for assay success Probes for SNP allele discrimination MethyLight TaqMan assays for identifying DNA methylation patterns.

Key features:

- Designs primers optimized for SYBR Green PCR assays.

- Beacon Designer designs highly specific SYBR Green primers by BLAST searching sequences, automatically interpreting the results and then designing SYBR Green primers by avoiding regions of significant homology.

- The SYBR Green primers designed can be BLAST searched against genomic databases available at NCBI. This helps verify the SYBR Green primer design and visualize primer and amplicon specificity.

- Beacon Designer identifies template structures and then automatically avoids them while designing SYBR Green primers.

- Displays the regions of homology and secondary structures for the sequence graphically in the Sequence View pane. This functionality helps visualize where the designed oligos are located with respect to both the regions.

- Evaluates pre-designed primers and designs a compatible primer a given sense or anti-sense primer. It then proceeds to design optimal dual labeled probes for use with well proven SYBR Green primers.

- For SNP genotyping studies, designs SYBR Green primers such that the SNP site at or towards t he 3' end position.

- Calculates SYBR Green primer Tm using nearest neighbor thermodynamic algorithm.

- Presents the design results in a ranked order.

- Screens SYBR Green primers for thermodynamic properties and secondary structures.

- Avoids homologies with all other primers to reduce primer dimers in a multiplex reaction.
