Is RealSNP Useful To Non-MassARRAY Users?
Absolutely! Even if you’re not a user of SEQUENOM’s technology for SNP analysis, you’ll benefit from the information content of RealSNP through access to already confirmed Polymorphic SNPs, and possibly to established amplification primers that could be integrated with your own SNP analysis platform. And users of platforms employing single-base extension (SBE) SNP analysis may also benefit from SEQUENOM’s tested MassEXTEND primers. SEQUENOM has already done the up-front work of establishing working assays for confirmed SNPs, and integrating the data with public genome information. Whatever system you’re working with, you’ll now have immediate access to only those SNPs you choose to include in your study design. Also rather than entering the time consuming and costly phase of assay development and testing, you’ll have the opportunity instead to begin focusing on the downstream results.
