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." - from the README file WWW: http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/genome_software/other/primer3.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: The licence is similar to old BSD with advertising clause: 3.
