  Abstract

Summary: G-PRIMER, a web-based primer design program, has been developed to compute a minimal primer set (MPS) specifically annealed to all of the open reading frames (ORFs) in a given microbial genome. This program has been successfully used in the microarray experiment for analyzing the expression of genes in the Xanthomonas Campestris genome.

Availability: It is available at http://mammoth.bii.a-star.edu.sg/gprimer/. Its source code is available upon request.
