mPSQed
Alignment editor and multiplex pyrosequencing assay designer
...The design of appropriate PCR-based assays is a complex task, especially when conserved discriminating polymorphisms are rare or if the number of types which need to be differentiated is high. One extremely useful but underused method for this purpose is the multiplex pyrosequencing technique. mPSQed is a program developed at the Robert Koch Institute and targeted at facilitating the creation of such assays.
