iFISH Probe Designer

Here you can design new single probes or spotting probes. Go to the Single Probe tab to design one probe in a region of interest. Instead, to query for a number of probes in a single region of interest use Spotting Probe . In the Databases tab you can scroll through the available databases. To go to a previously ran query, use the search tool. You can also check how many queries are currently in the Queue . More details in the help page.
