Permitted Target Identifiers

The permitted target identifiers are:

·        For target genes:

Gene name - enter the gene name (not case-sensitive) as it appears in one or more of the selected databases; example: brca1

Transcript ID - enter the transcript ID (not case-sensitive) as it appears in one or more of the selected databases; examples: NM_007294, OTTHUMT00000348798, or ENST00000357654

Gene ID - enter the numerical NCBI gene ID; example: 672

SNP ID - enter the dbSNP ID; example: rs9934438

·        For target genomic intervals:

Genomic coordinates - enter the chromosome number and range of nucleotides using the UCSC browser format or BED format.

You can add a string of text, no spaces, after the target genomic interval to be used as the target ID (e.g. chr1:1-100 geneX). If you enter multiple target genomic intervals with the same target ID (e.g. chr1:1-100 geneX and chr1:201-300 geneX), SureDesign will treat the intervals as different regions within the same gene.
