Description Tony Maher 2002-02-25 03:00:02 UTC 
    New port: biology/primer3

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Primer3 picks primers for PCR reactions, considering as criteria:

    o oligonucleotide melting temperature, size, GC content,
      and primer-dimer possibilities,
    o PCR product size,
    o positional constraints within the source sequence, and
    o miscellaneous other constraints.

    All of these criteria are user-specifiable as constraints, and
    some are specifiable as terms in an objective function that
    characterizes an optimal primer pair."
