Gene targets only use coding sequence (CDS) regions within that gene. Tapestri Designer resolves the gene to its CDSand then designs amplicons for only those regions. For example, on creating a panel with gene target as NRAS the following regions are used:
Chromosome |
Start |
End |
Region |
chr1 |
115251155 |
115251275 |
CDS 1 |
chr1 |
115252189 |
115252349 |
CDS 2 |
chr1 |
115256420 |
115256599 |
CDS 3 |
chr1 |
115258670 |
115258781 |
CDS 4 |
The UTRs and introns are not included in the design. To design a panel for the entire gene, add the regions for the UTRs and introns within the gene as region-based targets. For example, to design for the entire NRAS gene provide these targets:
Gene, NRAS, only CDS
