Bangalore Oct 21, 2002: Oligonucleotides are used for a wide variety of molecular biology applications and have revolutionized the field of biotechnology, where experiments in the lab invariably require oligos. Advancements in chemistry and technology have had a great impact on the field of DNA synthesis. The most notable of these is the development of high-throughput instrumentation for the rapid synthesis, and in some cases, purification of large numbers of oligonucleotides. This creates a need to rapidly design Oligos of various types to keep pace with high-throughput synthesis.

Oligos are designed and synthesized for a range of applications in Molecular Biology and Recombinant DNA Technology processes such as PCR, Probe, Hybridization Assays, Microarray Technology, Specialized Probes, Synthetic Oligos, Antisense Technology, Therapeutics, Gene-function studies (Interference assays)

OligoSys, a software product from SysArris, applies cutting edge algorithms to retrieve, process and analyze Genomic data. OligoSys uploads template sequences from Microsoft Excel and Text files to design oligos. OligoSys analyzes and processes single as well as multiple sequences (batch processing). The option to manually enter a sequence and design oligos is also featured in OligoSys. OligoSys, based on powerful algorithms, suggests the best oligos for the input sequence and calculates its properties. Designed Oligos can be ordered directly to the supplier and could be integrated with DNA Synthesizer.

Says Mr. Ajaysimha A, Director when asked on the benefits of OligoSys - OligoSys scans the complete gene sequence to obtain stringent and specific oligos, designs oligos with speed and accuracy, allows submission of multiple sequences for batch processing. The simple and elegant user interface of the product makes it easy for use by laboratory technicians and last but not the least the application can reside on a public website (your corporate website) from where customers could design and order oligos directly"
