| Features | 1. PrimerSNP is an online tool to design primers based on strain specific SNPs for multiple strains/species of microorganisms at the whole genome level.
2. The software contains two programs.
a) COMN - for common primer design for homologous genes and
b) SPEC - for specific primer design. The SPEC function is primarily designed for bacterial detection purpose, especially for those bacteria where multiple strains genomic information is available. [as claimed by the author]
3. The Specific primers that are designed by this program could be used for clinical pathogen detection using standard PCR.
4. Result will be mailed to the user. |
