Amplicon --software for designing PCR primers on aligned DNA sequences
What you can do:
Design PCR primers on aligned groups of DNA sequences.
Highlights:
- The most important application for Amplicon is the design of 'group-specific' PCR primer sets that amplify a DNA region from a given taxonomic group but do not amplify orthologous regions from other taxonomic groups.
- As well as dealing with group-specific PCR, Amplicon is useful for developing species-specific, allele-specific or any x91normalx92 PCR primer sets.
- Amplicon works with sequences including degenerate sites and gaps.
- Amplicon is freely available as a script that will run on any platform with Python 2.3 installed.
- It is also available as a Windows executable that can be downloaded freely.
