Custom design method for resequencing arrays

A method for a provider of nucleic acid arrays to provide a user with an array for resequencing a user selected nucleic acid wherein the method comprises:

• receiving a sequence computer file from said user wherein the sequence computer file comprises the sequence of the user selected nucleic acid;
• preparing a design for a resequencing array for the selected sequence;
• outputting said design into a design computer file;
• providing said design computer file to said user;
• receiving approval for said design from said user;
• outputting an instruction computer file wherein said instruction computer file provides instructions to a nucleic acid synthesizer for synthesis of an array comprising said design;
• synthesizing said array;
• and
• providing said user with said array.

A method for providing resequencing arrays to a user comprising:

• using a computer to design one or more resequencing arrays for one or more regions of a genome of interest;
• providing users with a list of available designs for resequencing arrays;
• receiving an order from a user for a specific design from said list of available designs wherein said specific design is for an array to resequence a selected sequence;
• outputting an instruction computer file for said specific design to a nucleic acid synthesizer;
• synthesizing an array using said instruction computer file;
• and
• providing the array or arrays to said user.
