PrimerZ -- Streamlined primer design for promoters, exons and human SNPs
What you can do:
Design primers for genes and human SNPs.
Highlights:
- PrimerZ automates highly standard but tedious gene primer design to improve the success rate of PCR experiments.
- PrimerZ accepts genes by gene name or Ensembl accession code, and SNPs by dbSNP rs or AFFY_Probe IDs.
- The promoter and exon sequence information of all gene transcripts fetched from the Ensembl database (http://www.ensembl.org) are processed before being passed on to Primer3 (http://frodo.wi.mit.edu/cgi-bin/primer3/primer3_www.cgi) for individual primer design.
- All results returned from Primer 3 are organized and integrated in a specially designed web page for easy browsing.
- Besides the web page presentation, csv text file export is also provided for enhanced user convenience.
