In the Primer Designer Tool, the amplicon coordinates are displayed for each primer pair. At this time, we do not provide the amplicon sequences from our webpage. To obtain the amplicon sequence, we recommend the NCBI website. You can click on View Details within the Primer Designer Tool and there are several hyperlinks that will take you to different locations on the NCBI page. For example, if you click on the Entrez Gene ID hyperlink, it will take you to the Gene ID page. You can scroll down to Genomic regions, transcripts, and products and click on the FASTA option next to "Go to nucleotide" and that will bring up the whole sequence.

In the Primer Designer Tool, many of the primer pairs span the entire exon, and hence provide some sequence for exon adjacent sequence. The extent of this intronic sequence varies from assay to assay and the extent can be viewed in the genome browser panel. Currently, we only provide primers for exons and are not offering "intron only" amplicon primers.

The primer pairs obtained via the Primer Designer Tool amplify exon regions of genes. In order to have complete coverage, the first and last primer of each exon typically lies in an intron. There may be some instances where primers are designed in an exon region, due to the size of the exon.

When using the Primer Designer Tool, the suggested distance of the SNP of interest relative to the 3' end of the primer depends upon the BigDye sequencing kit being used, the use of M13 tails, and the polymer type. BigDye Direct and BigDye Terminator v1.1 typically have higher data quality very close to the sequencing primer end, whereas BigDye Terminator v3.1 together with POP‐7 polymer provides optimized data quality after the first 35 to 40 bases. Predesigned primers ordered with the M13 tails will allow the use of the universal M13 forward and M13 reverse primers for sequencing, the sequence immediately after the M13 primer will be the target primer sequence, and so the SNP can be close to the 3' end of the target primer sequence.

Exon counting is not standardized. Exon 1 often means the first exon on the transcript, but could also mean the first exon on the genome regardless of the sense of transcription. Within the Primer Designer Tool, the mouse over pop‐up‐box on the genomic viewer indicates the number of an exon. However, we recommend user confirmation to ensure that the exon number indicated is concordant with the exon counting system the user expects.

If your AmpliSeq design has been created using hg38 as a reference, then you can create an ad-hoc workflow in Ion Reporter Software for analysis. All analysis and annotations will take into consideration hg38 as a reference. However, at this moment there are no hg38 workflows in Ion Reporte Software. The tools for analysis and annotations for hg19 will still be available.

At this moment, there are no new versions of the Oncomine panels based on GRCh Build 38. The Oncomine Panels will still be based on hg19.

At this moment, there are no new versions of the ready to use AmpliSeq panels based on GRCh Build 38. The off-the-shelf panels will still be based on hg19.

No, you cannot copy amplicons from an hg19 design to an hg38 design (or vice versa). Amplicons from a custom design can only be copied to another custom design associated with the same reference. It is not possible to copy amplicons to a custom design associated with a different reference.

Yes, the variant calling workflow based on hg19 will still be available in Ion Reporter Software. If your design was created using GRCh Build 38, you can also call and annotate variants using Ion Reporter Software.

Yes. The pipelines and tools for using hg19 as reference for design and analysis will still be available.

Yes, the Variant Analysis and Next-Generation Confirmation cloud apps will support all primers that map to GRCh Build 38. You will be informed with an error message if the primer pair does not map to this release.

After transition to the GRCh Build 38 build, you should use software and analysis pipelines that still support hg19 to analyze your CE data. CE desktop software, such as Variant Reporter and SeqScape software, will continue to support hg19.
You can also perform analysis using the Variant Analysis (VA) or Next-Generation Confirmation (NGC) cloud apps, but you will need to create a reference using an hg19 Genbank file. If the hg19 Genbank file has annotations, VA or NGC will report out variants based on your provided annotations. In NGC, you will also need to provide the NGS variant file (vcf file) which is generated using hg19 as a reference.

We are moving to GRCh Build 38 because it is a more accurate representation of the human genome and is the most recent genome version being accepted by the human genome community. Since many of the annotation databases have moved their content to correspond with the GRCh Build 38 coordinates, this change allows us to link to these newer annotations.

The GRCh Build 38 is essentially different from hg19 in that the hg19 build is a single representation of multiple genomes whereas the GRCh Build 38 provides alternate sequences ("alt_sequences") for some genomic regions for which their variability prevents adequate representation by one single reference. Other differences between the builds include changes in the centromere representation, the mitochondrial genome, updated sequences, and an "Analysis Set" (FASTA format sequences in a package convenient for use by various Next Generation Sequence read alignment pipelines).

Yes, hg38 and GRCh Build 38 are the same version of the human genome. GRCh Build 38 stands for "Genome Reference Consortium Human Reference 38" and is the primary genome assembly in GenBank; hg38 is the ID used for GRCh Build 38 in the context of the UCSC Genome Browser.
