Feature Update: Design SNP Assay
If you design an assay targeting a specific allele, it is important to know the genomic sequence neighborhood. A new addition to the Local variants interface will allow users to export flanking sequences around the selected variant. The extracted sequence can be formatted differently and typically will use IUPAC codes for variant sites in the flanking sequence while splitting the alleles of the ‘anchor’:
Clicking the eye icons will bring the anchor site into view or zoom in/out to show which region is being exported.
