<div dir="ltr">I would suggest keeping a csv. PCR cyclces are usually somewhere between 5-10 steps so it's not hard to wrap your head around what is going on. A simple columnar style like step, temperature, duration, goto step#, (optional notes) would probably cover everything you need.<div><br></div><div>A nice format to illustrate the links would be a graphviz object, but you'd be losing a universal format (.csv). To me, it's simple enough to not warrant isolating the crowd who doesn't want to install your special viewer/format decoder.<div><div><br></div><div>Chris</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 7:38 AM, Horea Christian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:h.chr@mail.ru" target="_blank">h.chr@mail.ru</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

I would like to store my Thermocycler (pcr) programs on my server to better keep track of them. Do you know any good format/style to do that in? does biopythonhave any thermocycler program objects?<br>
<br>
Right now I was thinking of saving this in a normal <tt>.csv</tt> file, but the entire iterative aspect of PCR seems difficult for me to convey in a concise matter in a <tt>.csv</tt> file. Would you have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
