Abstract

To decrease the number of possibl probles during the process of chip design, the codon use frequency table of the to-be-detect mRNA sequence was first forecasted, and the coding codons for each amino acid were predicted. By this method, the number of probes was reduced to 4.47%. At the same time, such codon usage principles as C-G separation and G-T base-pairing were also considered. As a result, the number of probes was decreased to 4.25%. The optimum codon usage table was used to dramatically decrease the number of probes to 0.20% when the specificity of probes was not strictly demanded. As a result, the detecting information per square unit on genechip can be increased significantly.
