Abstract

The OligoFaktory Standalone Edition (OligoFaktorySE) is free software for Apple Mac OS X 10.4 or more recent versions. It designs long oligonucleotides for DNA microarrays, primer pairs for PCR amplifications, siRNAs, and more… The innovative user interface emphasizes usability and is aimed at assisting researchers for a painless, rapid, automated, and reliable design. The software is distributed on the website http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/~cschrett/oligofaktory
