Aptagen unveiled AptaBuilder BETA, an online ordering tool that enables researchers to create custom oligo sequences. Custom DNA, RNA, and DNA/ RNA and peptide derivatives are created in a sequence-specific order. Users simply select their desired base pairs, type in the oligo sequence, and AptaBuilder generates statistics including molecular weight, extinction coefficient, and GC content. Additional modifications including 3’ (prime), 5’ and/or internal modifications can be added, if desired, and the resulting sequence either saved for future ordering or processed immediately. This application tool offers features to facilitate the design and order of oligos and peptides without the need of technical assistance.
