MethyMer is a Python-based tool aimed at selecting specific primers for amplification of complete CpG islands. These regions are difficult in terms of selection appropriate primers because of their low-complexity, polyN-, CG-richness, etc. MethyMer have a flexible scoring system capable of selecting primers in problematic regions (e.g. SpG islands) and includes specificity test (based on bowtie alignment against bisulfite-treated genome). It also incorporates TCGA CpG methylation...

InMethyl is a Python-based application for the design of target-specific primer combinations for PCR amplification and bisulfite sequencing of complete CpG-islands. InMethyl uses bowtie high-throughoutput aligner to identify potential mis-priming sites in the bisulfite treated or intact genome and then – undesirable potential PCR products. InMethyl provides a balance between various characteristics that allows to pick up primers in hard-to-study genomic regions.

trimAl can consider several parameters, alone or in multiple combinations, in order to select the most-reliable positions in the alignment. These include the proportion of sequences with a gap, the level of residue similarity and, if several alignments for the same set of sequences are provided, the consistency level of columns among alignments. Moreover, trimAl allows to manually select a set of columns and sequences to be removed from the alignment.
