Gemi: PCR Primers Prediction from Multiple Alignments
Designing primers and probes for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a preliminary and critical step that requires the identification of highly conserved regions in a given set of sequences. This task can be challenging if the targeted sequences display a high level of diversity, as frequently encountered in microbiologic studies. We developed Gemi, an automated, fast, and easy-to-use bioinforma...
متن کاملeasyPAC: A Tool for Fast Prediction, Testing and Reference Mapping of Degenerate PCR Primers from Alignments or Consensus Sequences
The PCR-amplification of unknown homologous or paralogous genes generally relies on PCR primers predicted from multi sequence alignments. But increasing sequence divergence can induce the need to use degenerate primers which entails the problem of testing the characteristics, unwanted interactions and potential mispriming of degenerate primers. Here I introduce easyPAC, a new software for the p...
متن کاملThe prediction of protein contacts from multiple sequence alignments.
We have studied the question of how much extra predictive power the correlated mutational behaviour of pairs of amino acid residues separated along a sequence has concerning the likelihood of those residues being in contact in the folded protein. The mutational behaviour is deduced from multiple sequence alignments. Our findings are that there is, indeed, some valuable information available fro...
متن کاملUsing Multiple Alignments to Improve Gene Prediction
The multiple species de novo gene prediction problem can be stated as follows: given an alignment of genomic sequences from two or more organisms, predict the location and structure of all protein-coding genes in one or more of the sequences. Here, we present a new system, N-SCAN (a.k.a. TWINSCAN 3.0), for addressing this problem. N-SCAN can model the phylogenetic relationships between the alig...
متن کاملGreene SCPrimer: a rapid comprehensive tool for designing degenerate primers from multiple sequence alignments
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely applied in clinical and environmental microbiology. Primer design is key to the development of successful assays and is often performed manually by using multiple nucleic acid alignments. Few public software tools exist that allow comprehensive design of degenerate primers for large groups of related targets based on complex multiple sequence alignments...
