    摘要: Methods are disclosed for predicting the potential of an oligonucleotide to hybridize to a target nucleotide sequence. A predetermined number of unique oligonucleotides is identified. The unique oligonucleotides are chosen to sample the entire length of a nucleotide sequence that is hybridizable with the target nucleotide sequence. At least one parameter that is independently predictive of the ability of each of the oligonucleotides of the set to hybridize to the target nucleotide sequence is determined and evaluated for each of the above oligonucleotides. A subset of oligonucleotides within the predetermined number of unique oligonucleotides is identified based on the evaluation of the parameter. Oligonucleotides in the subset are identified that are clustered along a region of the nucleotide sequence that is hybridizable to the target nucleotide sequence. The method may be carried out with the aid of a computer.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer readable media for automatically feature extracting array images in batch mode. At least two images to be feature extracted are loaded into a batch project, and the system automatically and sequentially feature extracts the images in the batch project. At least one of the images may be feature extracted based upon a different grid template or protocol than at least one other of the images. Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided to automatically feature extract a single array image having an identifier indicating that it is a multipack, multiple array image. A system provided for feature extracting array images in batch mode includes a user interface with a feature enabling a user to select images to be loaded into a batch project; and based upon the loaded images in the batch project, the system may automatically assign a grid template to each image loaded into the batch project. Further, the system may automatically assign a protocol to each image loaded into the batch project.

    摘要: Systems, tools and methods of assaying biological material are used to perform complex sandwich hybridization assays. The tools used comprise biological solution probes that are customized for each assay. The solution probe comprises a first region for hybridizing to a probe, in a generic set of capture probes on a universal assay apparatus, and a second region for hybridizing to a target in a sample. The solution probe assembles the target to the assay apparatus by hybridizing the second region to the target and the first region to the capture probe. In array assays, one or more biological samples, having one or more targets per sample, can be multiplexed on the same universal array comprising the generic set of capture probes in an array pattern of features on the substrate. The customized solution probe addresses and assembles a predetermined target-sample combination onto the array at a corresponding capture probe address location. The systems, tools and methods have specificity and sensitivity by systematically providing a reduced likelihood of cross-hybridizations and intramolecular structures in the probes. Specificity and sensitivity of the assay are provided by the incorporation of a chemically modified monomer in the capture probe and a similarly modified monomer complement in the first region of the solution probe. The modified monomers preferentially hybridize with each other. When the probe and respective probe region are oligonucleotides, the complementary modified nucleotides have a reversed polarity relative to the polarity of the respective probe and probe region. The complementary reversed polarity nucleotides form a thermodynamically more stable hybridization to each other than a hybridization between the reversed polarity nucleotide and a complementary nucleotide whose polarity is not similarly reversed.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer readable media for facilitating analysis of feature extraction outputs across multiple extractions. A feature extraction output of an extraction resulting from feature extraction of an array is inputted, and global statistics and array processing parameters are extracted from the feature extraction output. A table/file is populated with the extracted global statistics and array processing parameters of the extraction. The inputting, extracting and populating steps are repeated for at least one additional feature extraction output of another extraction, so that the table/file includes global statistics that can be readily cross-compared over multiple extractions with reference to a single table or file. Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for setting threshold values for metrics that global statistics are provided for. An evaluation metric may be set by a user, based upon the threshold values set for the metrics. A metric set including the metrics and optionally one or more thresholds and optionally an evaluation metric may be stored and/or applied to additional global statistics for those metrics to evaluate the quality of one or more extractions. A set of reports are provided for facilitating analysis of feature extraction outputs across multiple extractions. A diagnostic tool is provided for identifying and diagnosing potential problems in feature extraction outputs.
