<p>Described herein, in certain embodiments, are systems and methods for automated multiplex assay design. For example, a statistically significant (and/or biologically meaningful) cluster of probes resulting from an experiment are identified, then analyzed for association with additional probes (different from the experimentally identified probes) by performing a query of one or more databases. In some embodiments, mapping is performed between multiple types of probes, such that an experimentally observed probe is mapped into a database to identify associations with a different kind of probe, thereby designing a multiplex assay.</p> |
