[Bioperl-l] Bio::Tools::Primer3 question

[Chris Fields]

Already ahead of you there, unfortunately.  I wrote a complete reimplementation of both the Primer3 parser and the Primer3 wrapper that handles both v1 and v2 of primer3_core.  Lack of tuits lately have prevented me from getting tests written up, so for the time being it's sitting in bioperl-dev:

http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-dev

They are Bio::Tools::Primer3Redux (parser) and Bio::Tools::Run::Primer3Redux (wrapper).

I rewrote those b/c I found the original modules not adequate enough in many ways for my purposes then (the newer version uses simple features or feature pairs instead of the primer features, for the same reasons you mention re: Tm).  You're more than welcome to hack on the code a bit.  I'm planning on pulling it out into my own github repo for separate submission to CPAN.
