What's new in PrimerPlex 2.76

May 9, 2019
  • The upgrade accommodates the latest genomic databases available at the NCBI-BLAST server and the recent changes made by NCBI on its web sites and services to improve security and privacy.

New in PrimerPlex 2.75 (Aug 28, 2017)

  • As per the US government mandate, NCBI has made changes on its web sites and services to improve the security and privacy. PrimerPlex 2.75 accommodates these changes.

New in PrimerPlex 2.74 (Aug 28, 2017)

  • PrimerPlex, with its new improved multiplexing algorithm, is now twice as fast. It can now support a multiplex primer set design for over 100 sequences, at the same time, giving you even more primer set choices. The upgrade also includes fixes to reported issues.

New in PrimerPlex 2.73 (Aug 28, 2017)

  • The upgrade accommodates the latest genomic databases available at the NCBI-BLAST server and fixes to reported problems.

New in PrimerPlex 2.72 (Jul 2, 2014)

  • The latest changes to the genomic databases at the NCBI-BLAST along with fixes to reported problems are accommodated.

New in PrimerPlex 2.71 (Jul 2, 2014)

  • The upgrades accommodates latest changes at the NCBI BLAST, including latest genomic databases and fixes to reported problems.
  • The version is now compatible with Mavericks, Mac OS X 10.9.

New in PrimerPlex 2.70 (Jul 2, 2014)

  • The upgrade accommodates the latest genomic databases available at the NCBI BLAST server and fixes to reported problems. The version is now compatible with Windows 8.

New in PrimerPlex 2.62 (Jul 2, 2014)

  • The latest changes at the NCBI BLAST, including latest genomic databases and fixes to reported problems are also accommodated.
  • The upgrade offers compatibility with Windows 64bit OS.

New in PrimerPlex 2.61 (Jul 2, 2014)

  • The upgrade offers compatibility with Lion, Mac OS X 10.7.
  • The latest changes at the NCBI BLAST, including latest genomic databases and fixes to reported problems are also accommodated.

New in PrimerPlex 2.60 (Jul 2, 2014)

  • PrimerPlex now supports the MagPlex TAGs in addition to the Microplex xTAGs.
  • Use of MagPlex TAGs eliminates the separate step of coupling content specific probes to the MagPlex microspheres.
  • The TAG addition is instrument specific. A user can choose an instrument based on the number of sequences being multiplexed. PrimerPlex will make instrument specific TAGs available for tagging.
  • The TAGs are automatically appended with the ASPE primers, checked for their uniqueness and their secondary structure formations, to avoid minimal cross reactivity with the oligo and assuring success in a multiplex reaction. Users can override the program's recommendations and append the TAGs as per their requirements as well.
