Efficient primer design algorithms
MOTIVATION Primer design involves various parameters such as string-based alignment scores, melting temperature, primer length and GC content. This entails a design approach from multicriteria decision making. Values of some of the criteria are easy to compute while others require intense calculations. RESULTS The reference point method was found to be tractable for trading-off between deviat...
متن کاملPrimer Design Assistant (PDA): a web-based primer design tool
Primer Design Assistant (PDA) is a web interface primer design service combined with thermodynamic theory to evaluate the fitness of primers. It runs in a Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP structure on a PC equipped with dual CPU (Intel Pentium III 1.4 GHz) and 512 Mb of RAM. A succinct user interface of PDA is accomplished by built-in parameters setting. Advanced options on 5' GC content, 3' GC content, ...
متن کاملThe design of efficient algorithms for enumeration
Many algorithms have been developed for enumerating various combinatorial objects in time exponentially less than the number of objects. Two common classes of algorithms are dynamic programming and the transfer matrix method. This paper covers the design and implementation of such algorithms. A host of general techniques for improving efficiency are described. Three quite different example prob...
متن کاملA Primer on Memetic Algorithms
Memetic Algorithms (MAs) are population-based metaheuristics composed of an evolutionary framework and a set of local search algorithms which are activated within the generation cycle of the external framework, see [23]. The earliest MA implementation has been given in [52] in the context of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) while an early systematic definition has been presented in [48]. T...
متن کاملqPCR primer design revisited
Primers are arguably the single most critical components of any PCR assay, as their properties control the exquisite specificity and sensitivity that make this method uniquely powerful. Consequently, poor design combined with failure to optimise reaction conditions is likely to result in reduced technical precision and false positive or negative detection of amplification targets. Despite the f...
