MY OLIGO code can be modified retroactively for future use, as well. Retroactive modification of MY OLIGO code can be done in a way so that the user finds all his or her oligos under the correct code in the MY OLIGO search engine. Changes for future use allow for using the search engine options, provided that oligos ordered in the future enter the search engine with a code that conforms to the rules as agreed.

Principle of retroactive MY OLIGO code modification: This modification can be performed in the software mode, in our control program with the oligo database, where the original code (code to be removed) is replaced by the new code (active code) in all oligos with the original code. For this change to appear in MY OLIGO on the web, such modified records must be reuploaded to the web. One limitation is connected with such changes: The current oligo database contains records back to a certain date only. Older records are stored in the archive where they can be searched for; however, code replacement operations cannot be performed with them unlike the current records. Therefore this page includes a three-digit code of the oligo and the date before which no retroactive changes of MY OLIGO code can be performed. This three-digit code and date changes to a higher value after subsequent archiving of the records (2 times a year).

 

Most frequent situations when MY OLIGO code modification is required:

Situation 1: Multiple delivery addresses are used and you have obtained a new MY OLIGO code for each. You want to change all MY OLIGO codes to a single one.
Your solution: Send us the codes that you want to cancel (codes to be cancelled) and the code that you want to use to search for oligos in MY OLIGO (active code).
Our solution: The modification is performed to make sure that it is reflected in MY OLIGO in the course of several days.
Limitations: See general limitations below

 

Situation 2: You got married and changed your name. Upon placement of your first order using the new name, you will probably obtain a new code for MY OLIGO, as it is often not possible to recognize the change. As soon as you realize that you have multiple codes, you will want to apply a single (original) code for MY OLIGO to all your oligos, both retroactively and for the future.
Your solution: Send us your original and new name.
Our solution: We will integrate the old and new address to form a single one (using the new name and the original code for MY OLIGO). The modification is performed to make sure that it is reflected in MY OLIGO in the course of several days.
Limitations: See general limitations below

 

Situation 3: Members of one team want to integrate their MY OLIGO codes to form a single one, both retroactively and for the future.
Your solution: Send us the names of team members, their e-mails and MY OLIGO codes that you want to cancel (codes to be cancelled) and the code that you want to use to search for oligos in MY OLIGO (active code).
Our solution: The change will be performed upon verifying that individual persons agree with the change. The change will be reflected in MY OLIGO in the course of several days upon obtaining the last consent.
Recommendation: If a new members comes to the team and wants to have the same code as others, he/she must include the code in the first purchase order; not doing so, he/she would be assigned a new code again.
Limitation: See general limitations below. Such consolidation may lead to unexpected results if a member of the present team has worked elsewhere, as well, and used to place orders using the same code.

 

Situation 4: The whole team wants to have a new code for MY OLIGO for a new project, with "all to everything" type of access. Oligos ordered by the same persons for other purposes than for the new project will bear their original codes.
Your solution: Send us a list of members of the project team, their e-mails, project duration, and project acronym. All future orders of oligos for the project must contain this acronym in the notes area.
Our solution: Every project team member will obtain a new address with the same code. The code together with ordering instructions will be communicated to all members on the list.
Recommendation: If a new member comes to the team and wants to have the same code as others, he/she must include the code in the first purchase order; not doing so, he/she would be assigned a new code again.

 

Present general limitations:

Three-digit oligo code starting from which retroactive changes of the MY OLIGO code can be performed: 490 (for example: 490E2*)
Purchase order date starting from which retroactive changes of the MY OLIGO code can be performed: 24.10.2008
