Add a Target by Gene Symbol

1. Select the Enter Text tab.
2. In the Gene Symbol field, enter up to 500 gene symbols.

Gene symbols must be separated by a comma or individually listed on separate lines. You can use HGNC gene symbols. Not all CDS genes are available On-Demand. If you want to target UTR-only genes or you have more than 20 unsupported CDS genes, you must create a custom panel for them.

3. Select Add Target.

DesignStudio validates the entered gene symbols and displays error messages for any entries that contain errors. Targets that are not available for On-Demand panels are converted to Spike-In and are listed in the Spike-In tab. DesignStudio does not support designs that include multiple entries with the same gene name. For more information on the AmpliSeq for Illumina On-Demand Spike-In Panel, see the Questions & Answers section of the DesignStudio support site.

4. If errors are found in any of your entries, do one of the following.
Select Download error list to download a detailed log file of the erroneous entries. After all the errors are fixed, return to step 2 to reenter gene symbols.
Select Continue with Valid Targets Only to allow DesignStudio to exclude any entries that contain errors and continue with valid targets only.
