inspcr

- only one set of primers (?)

pypcrtool

- possibility to choose how many mistakes can be in the primer sequence

Chi-Feng (running it with two mistakes)

primerJinn

- multiple primers (?) - designed for one bacterial sequence (I managed to write a script to do sequences one by one) - shows up dimers

pincer

(outdated program - didn’t work)

  • there is total 794112 separate fasta files

Sandbox/Positive control:

chosen sequence

mv /scratch/kms9971/PCR_karo/NODE_9998_length_1843_cov_1.782998 /scratch/kms9971/positive_control_PCR

Primers version 1:

GCTGTTAGTGATATTGCCAA (forward)

GCATTGCGGCTCAGAAACCG (reverse)

What I am confused about is shouldn’t the forward primer be the opposite of the sequence to see if it binds (?)

Primers version 2:

mv /scratch/kms9971/PCR_karo/NODE_9998_length_2487_cov_2.414062 /scratch/kms9971/

mv /scratch/kms9971/PCR_karo/NODE_99947_length_532_cov_1.448637 /scratch/kms9971/
