DualPrime 1.1 – Whole-genome Primer Design software

DualPrime 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

DualPrime selects PCR primers for construction of gene specific tag (GST) microarrays. It tries to minimize the numbers of primers needed to prime all genes of two genomes (or other two lists of genes).

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.
