PerlPrimer is a free, open-source GUI application written in Perl
|
|
that designs primers for standard PCR, bisulphite PCR, real-time PCR
|
|
(QPCR) and sequencing. It aims to automate and simplify the process
|
|
of primer design.
|
|
|
|
PerlPrimer's current features include the following:
|
|
|
|
- Calculation of possible primer-dimers
|
|
- Retrieval of genomic or cDNA sequences from Ensembl (including both
|
|
sequences automatically for QPCR)
|
|
- Ability to BLAST search primers using the NCBI server or a local
|
|
server
|
|
- Results can be saved or optionally exported in a tab-delimited
|
|
format that is compatible with most spreadsheet applications.
|
|
- ORF and CpG island detection algorithms
|
|
- Ability to add cloning sequences to primers, automatically adjusted
|
|
to be in-frame
|
|
- QPCR primer design without manual intron-exon boundary entry
|
