Annealing temperature of 10-mer oligo

[Shaun Tyler]

Sure there are several quick methods for estimating annealing 
temperature.  The easiest is G/C = 4 C and A/T = 2 C.  However, 
regardless of the method you use, an "estimate" is all that you will get. 
 I hate to say it but if you need to be precise there is no alternitive 
to imperical testing.
