PrimerHunter 1.0.2 – Primer Design for PCR-Based Virus Subtype Identification

PrimerHunter 1.0.2

:: DESCRIPTION

PrimerHunter is a tool for selecting highly sensitive and specific primers for virus subtyping. It takes as input sets of both target and non-target sequences and ensures that selected primers amplify all target sequences and none of the non-target sequences by relying on accurate melting temperature computations based on the nearest-neighbor model of Santalucia and the fractional programming algorithm of  Leber et al.
