• MethPrimer is a program for designing bisulfite-conversion-based Methylation PCR Primer. Currently, it can design primers for two types of methylation mapping PCRs: 1) Methylation-Specific PCR (MSP) and 2) Bisulfite-Sequencing PCR (BSP) or Bisulfite-Restriction PCR.
• Input Sequence: DNA sequences in any format. No editing is required before input.
• Output: MethPrimer returns results in both text and graphic view.
