PrimerConverter

There's a blog article on how you can use this utility to create a."Primer Database" from an Excel spreadsheet of primers. You can then use that database to quickly scan any sequence for primer binding sites using the Nucleic Acid Subsequence analysis function.

NOTE: This is version 2.0.1, posted on August 7th 2013. This fixes some issues where primers would get displayed in the wrong location in the Map results window if the match was to the minus strand. If you downloaded a previous version, you should replace it with this version.
