You could also look into
GENE JOCKEY
Biosoft
22 Hills Road
Cambridge
CB2 1JP UK
Might not be as good as Oligo above but has been recently overhauled for
the
new edition. Have not seen the improvments as no upgrade from version we
use
to new one was forthcoming and don't want to by the program twice.
There is a distributor in USA now, I think Biosoft but not sure of address,
that you have to get from UK.......Sorry.
