The following table describes the parameters in the Theoretical Digestion Results table on the Process and Review page for oligonucleotide analysis experiments.
Column | Description |
|---|---|
Alias Name | Displays the name of a theoretical digestion component using the alias root defined in the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming table. For example, if “Chain1” was typed into the Custom Chain Alias Root column of the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming table, the theoretical digestion components listed in the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming Results table will appear as “Chain1_x”, where x indicates the theoretical component number. |
Selected Oligonucleotide Sequence Chain Name | Indicates the default name (derived from the FASTA file) of the oligonucleotide sequence assigned to the currently open processing method. |
Sequence | Displays the nucleotide sequence constituting the theoretical digestion component. |
Digested Sequence Mass | Displays the mass of the nucleotide sequence constituting the theoretical digestion component. |
Start Position/End Position | Indicates the positions of the first and last nucleotides of the theoretical digestion component within the undigested target oligonucleotide sequence. |
Sequence Length | Indicates the number of nucleotides in the theoretical digestion component. |
Nonunique Sequence | Indicates the number of times the nucleotide sequence appears in the theoretical digestion results. |
Isomer Group | Indicates the group to which a particular series of isomeric nucleotide sequences belongs. |
Number of Isomer Sequences | Indicates the number of isomeric nucleotide sequences of a particular mass that appear in the theoretical digestion results. |
Miscleavage | Indicates the number of miscleavages (if any) involved in producing a theoretical digestion component. The values in this column are based on the Number of Allowed Missed Cleavage Sites parameter in the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming section of the Customize Results page. If the value in this column is 0, no miscleavages occurred to create the theoretical digestion component. |
Digest Position | Indicates the relative position of a particular nucleotide at which the theoretical digestion took place; based on the specific activity of the ribonuclease assigned to the theoretical digestion and intrinsically related to the theoretical component number listed in the alias name. For example, since RNase A cleaves the internal phosphodiester bonds of cytosine (C) and uracil (U) bases, for a theoretical digestion using RNase A, a digest position of 3 indicates that the theoretical digestion component resulted from RNase A acting at the third C/U-containing nucleotide in the target oligonucleotide sequence. For alias root “Chain1”, this theoretical component would have the alias name “Chain1_3”. |
