1. A system for providing to a consumer, an assay configured to detect a presence or an expression of genetic material, the system comprising:
- a computer system configured to;
cause a display of a first web-based user interface configured to receive a first input of a first order for a stock assay,cause a display of a second web-based user interface configured to receive a second input of a request for design of a custom assay comprising a probe comprising a probe sequence and a primer comprising a primer sequence and a third input for a second order for the custom assay,generate a submission file comprising the first order, the request, or the second order, or any combination thereof, anddesign the custom assay based on the submission file and in accordance with criteria selected from one or more of;
avoiding inclusion of a single nucleotide polymorphism or a repeat sequence in the probe sequence and in the primer sequence,avoiding inclusion of a region of discrepancy between at least two genomic databases in the probe sequence and in the primer sequence, andincluding the probe sequence, the primer sequence, or both on an exon-exon boundary of a multi-exon gene;
a system for delivering to the consumer the custom assay manufactured according to the design, the stock assay, or both.

Abstract
Methods and systems for ordering assays which detect SNPs or gene expression are provided. The methods use PCR and RT-PCR procedures. Collections of stock assays are assembled using pre- and post-manufacturing quality control procedures and made available to consumers via the Internet. In addition, custom assays are prepared upon order from the consumer and these assays are also prepared using pre- and post-manufacturing quality control procedures. The assays are then delivered to the consumer.

10. A method for providing to a consumer, an assay configured to detect a presence or an expression of genetic material, the method comprising:
-
causing a display of a web-based user interface configured to receive from a consumer an input of a request for design of a custom assay comprising a probe comprising a probe sequence and a primer comprising a primer sequence, and configured to receive from the consumer an input of an order for the custom assay; generating a submission file comprising the request, the order, or both; designing the custom assay based on the submission file and in accordance with criteria selected from one or more of; avoiding inclusion of a single nucleotide polymorphism or a repeat sequence in the probe sequence and in the primer sequence, avoiding inclusion of a region of discrepancy between at least two genomic databases in the probe sequence and in the primer sequence, and including the probe sequence, the primer sequence, or both on an exon-exon boundary of a multi-exon gene; manufacturing the custom assay from the designing; and delivering to the consumer the custom assay. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
