BatchPrimer3: a high throughput web application for PCR and sequencing primer design.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Protein-protein interaction (PPI) plays essential roles in cellular functions. The cost, time and other limitations associated with the current experimental methods have motivated the development of computational methods for predicting PPIs. As protein interactions generally occur via domains instead of the ...
