11TITLE           Potential Probe Targets
12
13OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT/Probes/Design Probes/RESULT
14
15DESCRIPTION     The 'PD RESULT' window is displayed automatically after
16                finishing the probe target searching or manually by pressing the
17                'RESULT' button of the 'PROBE DESIGN' window.
18
19                The parameters defined by in the 'PROBE DESIGN' window are
20                        listed in the first few lines of the 'PD RESULT' window.
21
22       
23                Description of single display columns:
24
25                        Column          contains
26
27                        Target          the target sequence of the designed probe
28                        le              length of designed probe
29                        apos            absolute 5'-position of the target sites
30                                        (most often targeted position)
31                        ecol            ecoli-relative position
32                        qual            a probe quality indicator (see below)
33                        grps            groupsize (number of perfect hits in target-species)
34                        G+C             G+C content
35                        temp            predicted dissociation temperature (4GC+2AT)
36                        Probe           the designed probe sequence
37                       
38                The numbers of the next columns (from left to right) indicates how many
39                non-target species would be detected by this probe if the temperature would
40                be gradually lowered ('_' means no hits).
41
42                The columns do only represent virtual temperature shifts and cannot be
43                assigned to degree centigrade!
44
45                To write the results to an ascii file press the 'SAVE' button to display
46                the 'SELECTION BOX' window.
47
48                The 'Auto match' toggle has the same meaning as in LINK{probematch.hlp}.
49
50SECTION         SORTING
51
52                The probes are sorted by quality. The quality tries to reflect how good
53                each probe separates between target- and non-target group.
54
55                Therefore it detects the column COL in the decrease-temparature-list, where
56                more than twice as much non-target species get hitten than allowed.
57
58                                                            1000
59                        quality = groupsize * COL + ----------------------
60                                                     1000 + (hits in COL)
61               
62
63                Probes with equal qualities are sorted by absolute position and
64                then alphabetically. It does not take G+C content, temperature
65                or ECOLI position into account.
66
67                It is up to the user to study the list carefully and choose his
68                candidates. In our lab we often found the 20th probe was the best.
