Family-specific degenerate primer design: a tool to design consensus degenerated oligonucleotides [PDF]
, 2013 Designing degenerate PCR primers for templates of unknown nucleotide sequence may be a very difficult task. In this paper, we present a new method to design degenerate primers, implemented in family-specific degenerate primer design (FAS-DPD) computer ...
