  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Motivation: PCR amplification of DNA is a key preliminary step in many applications of high-throughput sequencing technologies, yet design of novel barcoded primers and taxonomic analysis of novel or existing primers remains a challenging task.</jats:p> <jats:p>Results: PrimerProspector is an open-source software package that allows researchers to develop new primers from collections of sequences and to evaluate existing primers in the context of taxonomic data.</jats:p> <jats:p>Availability: PrimerProspector is open-source software available at http://pprospector.sourceforge.net</jats:p> <jats:p>Contact:  rob.knight@colorado.edu</jats:p> <jats:p>Supplementary information:  Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.</jats:p>
