PrimerProspector: de novo design and taxonomic analysis of barcoded polymerase chain reaction primers
Motivation:
PCR amplification of DNA is a key preliminary step in many applications of high-throughput sequencing technologies, yet design of novel barcoded primers and taxonomic analysis of novel or existing primers remains a challenging task.
Results:
PrimerProspector is an open-source software package that allows researchers to develop new primers from collections of sequences and to evaluate existing primers in the context of taxonomic data.
Availability:
PrimerProspector is open-source software available at http://pprospector.sourceforge.net
