There is a very good PCR design program available for FTP from
"genome.wi.edu",
192.70.250.135. The program name is PRIMER and runs on DECStations,
SUNStation, MAC,
PC's and VAX'es. The source code and documentation for this package
exists as
individual file on the FTP server. Primer was written by Steve Lincoln
and Mark Daly
of the Whitehead Institute of Biomedical research.
