>>We just bought Oligo 4.0 from National Biosciences(3650 Annapolis Lane,
Plymouth, MN 55447 USA, (800)747-4362.) We haven't had a chance to use it
much, but it looks impressive, though it is a bit pricey: $800, $640 to
non-profit orgs through 9/30/92. From their propaganda:
"Oligo will design and select your PCR primers, sequencing primers and
hybridization probes, calculate primer annealing temps, molecular weights,
ug/O.D., pM/O.D., and other useful data. Oligo, using highly accurate nearest
neighbor thermodynamic algorithms, automatically searches for and selects
optimal PCR primers which are highly specific, free of homooligomer, dimer and
hairpin structure, unique and fall within a user-specified Tm range."
They will send a free demo disk.
