rprimer

rprimer is a novel R/Bioconductor package to efficiently design degenerate oligos and PCR assays, particularly tailored for sequence-variable viruses. The tool utilizes a multiple DNA sequence alignment as input data and produces comprehensive tables (data frames) and dashboard-like plots as outputs. Users can employ the workflow directly from the R console or through a graphical user interface (Shiny application).
