SpliceCenter is a suite of user-friendly tools that evaluate the impact of gene splicing variation
on specific molecular biology techniques. Each of the utilities has a Help panel and a link to
populate a sample query. Select a SpliceCenter tool from the list below.

siRNA-Check
presents a graphical display of siRNA/shRNA target locations within the known splice variants of a gene.
Effective use of RNAi to silence gene expression requires an understanding of the specific splice variants
that will be targeted by a given siRNA/shRNA.
|
|
Batch siRNA-Check
is a high-throughput process that evaluates large numbers of siRNAs/shRNAs. Tabular position
reports provide RNAi target location details and a Hit/Miss report lists targeted/non-targeted splice variants.
|
|
Primer-Check displays the target location
of RT-PCR primers and microarray probes on known splice variants of a gene. When RT-PCR
is used to confirm microarray results, it is important that the PCR primers and microarray
probes are measuring the same splice variants.
|
|
Batch Primer-Check performs high-throughput
identification of the target location of PCR primers/probes. A file of primer sequences is submitted
and the tabular results identify targeted/non-targeted splice variants.
|
|
Peptide-Check displays the location
of the coding sequence for a protein fragment within the known splice variants of a gene.
This capability is
useful in identifying gene isoforms that do / do not contain the peptide sequence in
question.
|
|
Batch Peptide-Check performs high-throughput
identification of peptide sequences within splice variants of genes. Result files indicate the
gene that contains the peptide, its position within the gene and the variants
that do / do not include it.
