  • The upgrades accommodates latest changes at the NCBI BLAST, including latest genomic databases and fixes to reported problems.

New in AlleleID 7.80 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • The upgrade accommodates the latest genomic databases available at the NCBI BLAST server and fixes to reported problems. The version is now compatible with Windows 8.

New in AlleleID 7.75 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • The latest changes at the NCBI BLAST, including latest genomic databases and fixes to reported problems are also accommodated.

New in AlleleID 7.74 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • The latest changes at the NCBI BLAST, including latest genomic databases and fixes to reported problems are also accommodated.
  • The upgrade offers compatibility with Windows 64bit OS.

New in AlleleID 7.71 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • The version includes improvements in Taxa Specific primer-probe design algorithm and fixes to reported problems.

New in AlleleID 7.70 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • Includes support for the latest genomic databases available at NCBI.

New in AlleleID 7.60 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • The upgrade offers compatibility with Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6. It also accommodates changes at NCBI BLAST server & fixes to reported problems.

New in AlleleID 7.50 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • AlleleID can now design strain differentiation multiplex assays for Suspension Array systems based on Luminex's xMAP technology. If you are working with closely related organisms, this functionality will enable you to run experiments in a single reaction vessel.
  • Support for single template xMAP assays is also included wherein oligos are designed for rapid and high-throughput detection of nucleic acid sequences. You can even use pre-designed proven oligos and design oligos for the rest of the sequences to form a multiplex set compatible with them.
  • Additionally, you can use a pre-designed or published or well proven forward or reverse primer and have AlleleID design the rest of the assay. For example, for a given forward primer, AlleleID would design the reverse primer for SYBR Green assays and would design both the reverse primer and the TaqMan probe for TaqMan assays.
  • The multiplexing and design algorithms are enhanced considerably. AlleleID can now design 5-plex assays which are efficient and error free.
  • The latest genomic databases available at the NCBI BLAST server are also supported.

New in AlleleID 7.01 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • The upgrade includes enhanced support for MLPA probe design based on the new design guidelines laid down by MRC-Holland, the inventors of the technology. The program has been thoroughly tested by MRC-Holland for the accuracy and relevancy of the results. AlleleID can now load sequences from UCSC Genome browser and automatically retrieve exon, repeats and SNP information for further analysis.
  • The automatic homology avoidance algorithm has been improved considerably to improve the selection of the regions of homology. This and several other parameters have been improvised to enable you to design assays of greater specificity and efficiency.

New in AlleleID 7.00 (Jun 26, 2014)

  • AlleleID can now design highly specific probes for NEAT assays. NEAT, Non-Enzymatic Amplification Technology, is a genomic testing platform. Using AlleleID you can design NEAT probes, both for copy number detection and mutation studies.

New in AlleleID 6.01 Build 60103 (Jun 12, 2008)

  • It accommodates the latest changes at the mFold and the NCBI BLAST server including support for the latest genomic database.
