hi
I just did what you asked for designing some 16SrRNA primers from a
multiple sequence alignment of 20 similar 16SrRNA genes of Bacillus. It is
very simple
1. First do the multiple sequence alignment (a msf file)
2. Generate a consensus sequence from the msf file
3. Develop primers for the consensus sequence for the region you want
amplified.
I used GCG on a TruUnix machine for my purpose. Pileup for the getting
the multiple sequence file. Then pretty for getting the consensus sequence
from it. "PRIME" to design the primers for the consensus sequence.
If you are not good at Unix or GCG you can send me the multiple sequence
file and I can do the job foryou.
bye
cheers
