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.

...Lets say you want the amino acid sequence of range 128-387 from a 1000 amino acid protein - this script will help you to avoid counting mistakes by just showing you the specified sequence in amino acids and coding DNA base pairs (ideal for amplification primer design) of a specified Uniprot ID. - Requires BioPython (3) and Bioservices Package (4) (1) The UniProt Consortium UniProt: a hub for protein information Nucleic Acids Res. 43: D204-D212 (2015).

A simple tool to design DNA primers for mutagenesis in BGME lab (JHU). Allows users to select or enter background sequence and add current and new mutations. During the design process, users are presented with various updating checks to guide them.

Pythia is a thermodynamically based PCR primer design program.
