[Bioperl-l] Processing seq in Bio::Seq objects

[Samantha Thompson]

Hi,
Thanks for this.
However, I think it's common for molecular biologists I work with in the
lab to use primer calculation formulae that are different/simpler than
those often recommended by things like Primer3 and sigma's ordering
website. Typically, we use a formula from Maniartis et al (I think a
different author in later editions), Molecular Cloning. So I thought I'd
work up a calculator based on this.
I'll also take a look at the SeqStats module thanks for your help :)

Sam

Hi Sam.

For nucleotide counts look at Bio::Tools::SeqStats. However, there is 
already code for calculating primer melting temperatures in BioPerl, in 
Bio::SeqFeature::Primer.
