PRIMex (Primer Explorer)
PRIMex is highly customized software for designing primers. It provides a wide range of parameters according to the needs of the user. This can be of great help for various disease associated studies. It has options for calculating melting temperature based on most updated formulae. It also provides a graphical output which makes it more user friendly. The efficiency of the primer is being checked with various well known algorithms in Bioinformatics.
The designed primers are of optimal length in order to increase the efficiency. The repeat regions in the sequence are masked to avoid designing primers in those regions. It also ensures that the designed primers should not contain sequences of nucleotide that can lead into primer dimer formation.
