barCoder

A tool to generate unique, orthogonal genetic tags for qPCR detection. barCoder is a bioinformatics tool that facilitates the process of creating sets of uniquely identifiable barcoded strains. barCoder utilizes the genomic sequence of the target strain and a set of user-specified PCR parameters to generate a list of suggested barcode “modules” that consist of binding sites for primers and probes and appropriate spacer sequences.
