Abstract excerpt
This paper introduces a novel Python script which automates the design process of cancer variant-specific DNA probes, based on the amplification method LAMP (Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification). With just an input of the DNA sequence and the mutation base location, the script outputs suggestions of two best fitting primer sets for a given target, together with an estimated working efficiency. The script also...
