Oligo design software for gene synthesis
1 TmPrime: http://prime.ibn.a-star.edu.sg/
Accepted annealing temperature: 50–70 °C
Design conditions: Oligos with Tm of 55 or 65 +/- 2 °C
2 DNAWorks: http://helixweb.nih.gov/dnaworks/
Accepted annealing temperature: 58–70 °C
Design conditions: Oligo size: 50 nt Random; Annealing temp: 65 +/- 1 °C; No gaps are allowed in assembled gene
3 GeneDesign: http://baderlab.bme.jhu.edu/gd/
Accepted annealing temperature: no information
Users can not specify the oligonucleotide concentration and PCR buffer conditions.
