Permitted formats for oligo library sequences upload files

When you create a SurePrint Oligo pool design, you upload the oligo sequences from a file.

Follow these requirements when preparing an oligo library sequences upload file:

·        The file must be a tab-delimited text file (*.txt or *.tdt), a comma-separated values file (*.csv), or a list file (*.list). The file must be saved within a compressed folder (*.zip).

·        If your file includes comments, the comment lines must start with a "#" symbol.

·        The file must be in a 1-column or 3-column format, with each column and column header completed as described in the tables below.

1-column oligo sequences upload file

The column of a 1-column oligo sequences upload file for SurePrint Oligo pools designs is described in the table below.

Column #

Column header

Description of column content

1

Sequence

This column contains the complete sequence of the oligo in 5' to 3' orientation, with one oligo sequence per line.

The sequence can contain only A, T, G, and C characters. Each sequence must be 30-230 nucleotides long.

The same oligo sequences can be listed more than once in the file.

 

3-column oligo sequences upload file

The columns of a 3-column oligo sequences upload file for SurePrint Oligo pools designs are described in the table below.

Column #

Column header

Description of column content

1

SequenceName

The identifier for the oligo sequence.

2

Sequence

This column contains the complete sequence of the oligo in 5' to 3' orientation, with one oligo sequence per line.

The sequence can contain only A, T, G, and C characters. Each sequence must be 30-230 nucleotides long.

3

Replication

The number in this column indicates the number of times that the oligo sequence is replicated within the library.
