Welcome to DesignStudio Array

DesignStudio Microarray Assay Designer is a web-based software tool that allows customers to bring in their design files and perform the design process for Illumina Microarrays using web-based interface. The software will perform target level and design level validations, score each individual target for its designability and produce a final score/error file based on the outcome. DesignStudio Microarray also allows users to view their designs and design summaries.

POWERFUL CUSTOM INFINIUM ARRAYS

Supports successful probe design for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), and methylation designs targeting CpG and CpH sites by providing predicted success and Infinium validation status.

SOPHISTICATED DESIGN TOOLS

DesignStudio is an online tool for creating custom and semi-custom Infinium BeadChips, including features such as:

• Login using MyIllumina account

• Supports creation of custom and semi-custom Infinium BeadChips in the following assay formats:

  • EX-24

  • EX-48

  • HTS

  • XT (Genotyping only)

• Allows design of semi-custom content based on popular catalog array backbones.

• Designs one to four species on a single array for XT Genotyping BeadChips.

• Designs BeadChips for human and agricultural species.

• Generates designs using:

  • Genotyping

    • rsIDs from dbSNP (human only).

    • Genomic coordinates (human only).

    • Gene names (human only).

    • Existing Illumina IDs (ILMN IDS).

    • Flanking sequences and alleles.

    • Previous score file.

  • Methylation

    • Cg IDs from Illumina cg database.

    • Coordinates for CpG/CpH targets.

    • Gene names (human only).

    • Region definitions.

• Alerts to potential issues with submitted design.
