Start a new Ion AmpliSeq™ On-Demand design by browsing disease research areas

This procedure describes how to use the Ion AmpliSeq™ Designer content selection engine to create Ion AmpliSeq™ On-Demand designs by browsing one or more research areas of interest. To create designs by manually entering a specific list of genes, or uploading a list of genes using a CSV file, see Start a new Ion AmpliSeq On-Demand design by manually entering a list of genes or uploading a CSV file.

  1. In the home screen, in the Ion AmpliSeq™ On‑Demand panels pane, click Or browse disease research areas.
  2. In the Browse Disease Research Areas screen, select a list of genes to add to your design based on research area of interest.
