FAQ

I have a selection of SNPs I wish to test via Flex-Seq, but I am unsure how successful they will be in the design process. Will I be able to exchange my SNPs prior to library generation?

Yes, one major advantage of Flex-Seq over array-based technologies is the flexibility in the selection of SNPs. Should any SNPs fail at the design stage these can be exchanged for alternative SNPs prior to library generation.

We ask the customer to submit a greater number of SNPs than is desired (+10-20% recommended, +50-100% preferred) to aid oligonucleotide probe design. All submitted SNP sequences (which both pass and fail design) will be reported back to the customer for final selection before synthesis of the kits.
