Define Design

In this step, complete the fields described below to define the design.

Design Name

Type a name for your design into the field. Alphanumeric characters, hyphens, underscores, and spaces are permitted. The name must be unique within your workgroup.

Species

Specify the species of the sample DNA. The default selection is H. sapiens.

To change the selection, click Select. The Select Species dialog box opens, allowing you to select from a list of available species.

Build

If multiple genome builds are available for the selected species, select the desired genome build in the provided drop-down list.

If no drop-down list for build selection is provided, that indicates that only one genome build is currently available for the selected species. That build is indicated below the Species field.

Create In

Specify the folder in which you want to save this design. The default selection is the top-level folder for your workgroup.

To change the selection, click Select to open the Select Folder dialog box, and mark the folder in which you want to save the new design. This dialog box lists the available folders within your workgroup and, if you are a member of any collaborations, lists the collaboration folders to which you have access. (If you later decide you want to change the folder location of the design, you can move it to another folder.)

Application

Select between CGH and CGH+SNP. Designs for a CGH+SNP microarray include probes for detecting copy-neutral LOH regions.

 NOTE  The CGH+SNP option is only available for H. sapiens arrays.

Array Format

Select the format of the microarray. The format refers to the number of arrays per slide and the number of features per array. The available format options depend on your selection in the Application setting.

Control Grid

Select the Agilent control grid to use with the design. A control grid is a set of control probes that SureDesign adds to the design during the probe selection job. Different control grids are available depending on the species, application, and array format that you selected. For descriptions of all Agilent control grids, see Agilent control grids in the Reference Help chapter.

Description

(Optional) Type a description of the design. The description can be up to 2000 characters. Use only alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, and 0-9) and the following special characters: _, -, $, #, @.

Keywords

(Optional) Type one or more keywords for the design, separated with a comma or space. You can type up to 2000 characters in this field. Use only alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, and 0-9), commas, dashes, and underscores in your keywords. You can later use these keywords to search for the design.
