*"_m" indicates an assay whose probe spans an exon junction and will not detect genomic DNA. "_s" indicates an assay whose probes and primers are designed within a single exon and, hence, will detect genomic DNA. "_g" indicates an assay that may detect genomic DNA as the assay probe and primers may also be within a single exon.
