Primer Design Tool with LMU-Munich
We worked with LMU-Munich 2011 iGEM team this summer on the testing and development of their PrimerDesign tool. To learn more about it check out their website.
Software Testing
We helped LMU-Munich test their primer design software by sending our primer data and comparing it with the output of their automated designer. To do this, we compared the sequences of the primers used to amplify out parts of the LuxBrick with the primers that their software designed and concluded that their software works as expected. We also gave feedback on other possible features and spotted a few bugs to fix. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to order the primers that the software designed to test it ourselves. Overall, we found the tool easy to use and potentially very useful for future primer design.
