Oligonucleotide Modeling Platform^TM

The core of DNA Software's product line is it's computational environment, the Oligonucleotide Modeling Platform^TM (OMP^TM).  OMP^TM is a programmable predictive modeling environment, which is used to develop customer-specific applications.  OMP^TM takes all of the chemical and biological knowledge and expertise developed by DNA Software scientists and Dr. SantaLucia's previous work, and encapsulates it into a single, simulation platform.  Key technology features of OMP^TM include:

• A defined scripting language, allowing OMP to be "programmed" for specific tasks necessary to users or client applications,
  
• Fully encapsulated hybridization science functions which precisely predict the DNA hybridization that will result from any specific oligo experiment under a variety different design conditions, including;
  
  
  
  • Single-strand optimal and sub-optimal unimolecular structure prediction, recursive bimolecular hybridization algorithm,
  • Customized numerical analysis code for the solution of multiple coupled hybridization equilibria,
  • DNA secondary structure display,
  • Display of species concentrations as a function of temperature,
  • Interface with the sequence and annotation data in the SNP database,
  • Interface with the Oracle, SQL and MS ACCESS database format,
    
• Rich modeling functionality, including capabilities to predict DNA microarray effectiveness, PCR and PCR multiplexed efficiency, and oligo probe and primer interactions (dimerization),
  
• A cutting edge peer-to-peer distributed computing architecture which allows OMP^TM to run across a cluster or network of PCs, making OMP^TM scalable and extremely fast,
  
• Cross-platform capability to run on most any commercial Windows, Linux, or Unix machine.
