Compact Gene Index (CGX) Search Tool

For many focussed research projects there is a demand for custom arrays covering specific genes of interest. These genes often are a subset of rat, mouse, or human catalog Ocichip™. Many customers asked us for a search tool that allows to screen the list of sequences covered with these arrays by gene names or even key words like "apoptosis". To meet this demand we developed a convenient web-based tool that also can be used to efficiently reduce the number of genes down to a few that you are really interested in.

There are several advantages for the customer:

1. It significantly reduces the amount of information.
2. The smaller number of spots gives a lower price.
3. Therefore the investigation of many different conditions is possible and becomes affordable.
4. Due to the same chemistry all results are comparable, remaining cDNA probes already prepared can directly be used for further comparisons.
5. It is possible to go back to the complete array with the same probe at any time, if promising.

It is possible to search a given array for a particular accession number, a key word or Ocimum Biosolutions oligo number. The result of the search is a list of Ocimum Biosolutions oligos that match the key word in either of the gene descriptions. The search tool also allows one to look up possible cross hybridizations for highly related protein families. In this way subsets of oligos can be located and then ordered.

You can have them spotted as ready-to-use arrays or as Ocimum OligoSets.
