In this strategy, the focus of primer design can be either on the validation of annotated public SNPs or on the SNP discovery in exon regions or extended genomic regions, both by resequencing. SNPbox relies on Primer3 for the primer design and combines this program with other publicly available software tools such as BLAST, Spidey and RepeatMasker, and newly developed algorithms. Primer conditions were chosen such that PCR amplifications are uniform for each PCR amplicon facilitating the use of high-throughput genetic platforms. SNPbox can also be used for the design of primer sets for mutation analysis, STR marker genotyping and microarray oligo design. Of the 2500 primer sets designed by SNPbox, 95% successfully amplified genomic DNA under uniform PCR conditions.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: The software is available from the authors upon request.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0jurgen.delfavero@ua.ac.be<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: SNPbox_supplement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bti006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,7]],"date-time":"2004-09-07T07:33:02Z","timestamp":1094542382000},"page":"385-387","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["SNPbox: a modular software package for large-scale primer design"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Stefan","family":"Weckx","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Genetics (VIB8), Bioinformatics Unit, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, University of Antwerp Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610 Antwerpen, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"De Rijk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Genetics (VIB8), Bioinformatics Unit, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, University of Antwerp Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610 Antwerpen, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Van Broeckhoven","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Genetics (VIB8), Bioinformatics Unit, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, University of Antwerp Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610 Antwerpen, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jurgen","family":"Del-Favero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Genetics (VIB8), Bioinformatics Unit, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, University of Antwerp Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610 Antwerpen, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051305563039600_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Altschul, S.F., Madden, T.L., Schaffer, A.A., Zhang, J., Zhang, Z., Miller, W., Lipman, D.J. 1997Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.
