:: DESCRIPTION
SliderPrep will take aligned DNA sequences and create the input file for DNA Slider. It creates a list of polymorphisms and fixed differences, classified as synonymous, non-coding, or amino acid replacement variation.

:: DESCRIPTION
Amplicon is a tool for designing PCR primers where groups of related DNA sequences can be assessed in aligned form. This is especially useful for designing ‘group-specific’ PCR primer sets that produce amplicons from a targer group of species, but not from other groups of species. Amplicon assists in group-specific PCR primer desing primarily by being a visualisation tool for alignments from which the user can select regions that may be group-specific primer binding sites. Other useful features that are not common in other PCR primer design software are handling of gapped sequences and degenerate sites in aligned DNA. Group-specific PCR primer sets are useful in a wide variety of situation where environmental DNA is being examined and the diversity or identity of some of the DNA sequences within a sample need to be determined.
