The Automated Designers
- The Automated Designer macros help design marker screening and genotyping experiments with "multiplex-ready" markers. They serve as electronic lab books and streamline the experiment design and PCR set-up.
- Information required by the Automated Designers is a list of sample names, marker binning information as generated e.g. by BINNER»MRT TAGS and general PCR parameters (desired reaction volume, column- or row-wise PCR plate set-up, etc.).
- The output generated by the Automated Designers can be used for sample tracking during genotyping on a ABI3730 sequencer and during the subsequent analysis with GeneMapper.
- To find out what the Automated Designer macros do and how to use them:
IMPORTANT:
- The Automated Designer macros were written using Microsoft Excel 2003, and may not function properly with older versions.
- Before setting up an experiment with the "Automated Designer" macros, always visit FILES»LIST and check that you use the most recent version. This is important as the macros contain marker data that corresponds to information in the MARKERS Table. Whenever the information in the MARKERS Table is updated, an up-dated version of the macro is posted on FILES»LIST at the same time.
- The Automated Designer macros and the MARKERS Table were last updated on 15 February 2007.
