MutScreener: Design primers for mutation screening (by PCR-direct sequencing)
Workflow Diagram
Two types of resequencing, four kinds of input data :
►Exon-centered resequencing
If you have only mRNA IDs (Genbank accession or gi numbers) or mRNA sequences, please select this one!
Attention: Human genome sequence only!
If you have a feature table for exon annotation generated by DNannotator, please select this one!
If you have the exon and flanking sequences downloaded from UCSC , please select this one!
Track 3 is preferred if the gene is annotated on UCSC map, as the promoter region sequence can be extracted there too. Otherwise, user may need to manually define & extract promoter region sequence.
►Resequencing across the genomic regions
If you need to design assays to screen continuous gDNA sequence, regardless of exon/intron structure, please select this one!
After Primers were designed, you may check the design by mapping the primers back to gDNA sequence:
