Check/View GE Probe Design jobs

You can view a list of all of your current GE Probe Design jobs, and check the status of each. If the status of the job is Completed, you can view the job's detailed results.

Set the application type to Expression.
Click the Workspace tab.

Click Probe > GE Probe Design.

The GE Probe Design page appears. The status of each job appears in the Status column. The list of probe design jobs does not automatically update once it appears. Click Refresh to update the list to its most current form.

Status designations and what they mean

Status	Description
In Queue	The job has been submitted to Agilent, but no action has been taken on it yet.
Designing	The job has been submitted to Agilent, and processing has begun.
Completed	The job has been completed by Agilent, and the results are available for your use.
ERROR	The job has been submitted to Agilent, but there are problems. You may need to resubmit your probe design job.

If a job has a status of Completed, you can view the results of the job.

In the Actions column of the Search Results pane, next to the desired job, click View Design.
The GE Probe Design Details page appears.

The tabs under GE Probe Design Details give you access to three types of results, as described in the table below. Click the appropriate tab to see the desired details.

Result	Description
Design Summary	Information of an overall nature about the set of probes produced by the design process, including statistics on length, base composition, melting temperatures, probe quality and hybridization.
Design Details	List of the first 100 probes generated by the probe design process, with specific information about each probe. To view a list of all of the probes that were designed, download the GE Probe Design results, then open the MOST_tdt file.
Target Fate	List of the first 100 target sequences used in the GE probe design process, with information on which ones produced probes, and which did not. To view information about all target sequences, download the GE Probe Design results, then open the MOST_fate file.

1. Note: An additional result, the MOST_cluster file, is available when you download GE Probe Design results. This file lists the names of all of the target and transcriptome sequences from the GE Probe Design job, and identifies the cluster to which each one belongs. For information on clustering, see How does GE Probe Design handle highly homologous sequences.
