Does anyone know of a program to aid the selection of regions of a
nucleic acid sequence to act as good primers for PCR?

Ideally, the regions required should have a high Td so that they do not
anneal to themselves.  They should form stable duplexes with and be
specific to, the target sequence.  They should not base-pair to other
regions on the target sequence.
