AssayWatch

Continuous in-silico re-validation of published PCR and qPCR diagnostic assays against newly deposited GenBank sequences. Assays are designed against the handful of sequences available at publication and then used for years while the database accumulates divergent strains nobody re-screens them against. AssayWatch keeps a version-controlled registry of assays and re-screens it, reporting predicted detection by year of deposit and flagging drift. The weekly schedule it ships is installed on one machine, so the cadence is a property of the tooling rather than of a hosted service.
