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...

...This balance is based on the calculation of scoring factor including primer pair specificity, nucleotide composition (sequence complexity), thermodynamic features (melting temperature, dimers dG etc.), presence of CpG-sites and other parameters. Users are intended to customize the desired or limit ranges of these values, as well as penalties for out-of-bounds values. InMethyl software allows to optimize combination of PCR primer pairs to perform the amplification of large genomic regions, e.g. ...

...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.

QUASR is a lightweight pipeline written to process and analyse next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from Illumina, 454, and Ion Torrent platforms. Although originally written for viral data, it is generic enough to work on any NGS dataset. Functions include: duplicate removal demultiplexing primer-removal quality-assurance (QA) graphing quality control (QC) consensus-generation minority-variant determination minority-variant graphing The main current version is 6.X, which is written in Python3. 7.X is my rewrite in Java, but is still work in progress. Both are written to be as lightweight as possible so they can run with minimal memory-requirements on a desktop or laptop as well as on a compute cluster. ...

Pythia is a thermodynamically based PCR primer design program.

Amplicon is a Python script for designing PCR primer sets. Amplicon is written in Python 2.3 and Tkinter 8.4. The current script was created for Windows and an executable is available. Future versions of the script should be able to run on Linux and Mac
