X Abstract

SUMMARY: We have developed a quick web-based application for designing conserved genomic PCR and RT-PCR primers from multigenome alignments targeting specific exons or introns. We used Pygr (The Python Graph Database Framework for Bioinformatics) to query intervals from multigenome alignments, which gives us less than a millisecond access to any intervals of any genome within multigenome alignments. PRIMER3 was used to extract optimal primers from a gene of interest. QPRIMER creates an electronic genomic PCR image from a set of conserved primers as well as summary pages for primer alignments and products. QPRIMER supports human, mouse, rat, chicken, dog, zebrafish, and fruit fly. AVAILABILITY: http://www.bioinformatics.ucla.edu/QPRIMER/

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
