DesignStudio Custom Assay Design Tool
DesignStudio is a web-based assay design tool to help researchers design and order custom genotyping microarray probes or custom sequencing assays.
Illumina methylation BeadChips employ both Infinium I and Infinium II assays, enhancing the overall breadth of coverage. (A) Infinium I probe designs use 2 bead types per CpG locus, 1 each for the methylated and unmethylated states. (B) Infinium II probe designs use 1 bead type for both states.
Researchers work with Illumina technical design and customer service teams to refine the BeadChip marker content and coordinate the ordering and production process.

The GenomeStudio Methylation Module extracts beta values and provides sample clustering analysis for Infinium HTS iSelect Methyl Custom BeadChip data. The BeadArray Controls Reporter software tool is not supported at this time.
Notably, there are many freeware applications in Bioconductor, such as SeSAMe, that provide enhanced normalization and visualization options. Illumina does not support these freeware solutions directly.
Advanced chemistry, optics, and informatics combine to deliver exceptional sequencing speed and data quality, outstanding throughput, and scalability.
Optimized reagent kit that provides increased cluster density and read length, improving sequencing quality scores compared to earlier versions.
Enable CGP with a large pan-cancer panel covering all major variant classes plus gene signatures (TMB, MSI, and HRD) from FFPE tissue.
A fast, integrated workflow for preparing libraries for use in a wide range of sequencing applications.
Robust methylation profiling microarray providing extensive coverage of CpG islands, genes, and enhancers. Ideal for genetic and rare disease research, cancer research, and classification.
Features > 285k markers across the methylome for high-resolution epigenetic analyses of diverse murine strains.
