Product Description:

The main purpose of AmplifX is to seek in a collection of primers, such as any molecular biologist get in his refrigerators, those which can be use to amplify a fragment into a target sequence, for example, and particularly, to design strategies to screen recombinant clones by PCR. Some informations are associated with each primer, some automatically computed by AmplifX (like TM, Quality, length) and other given by the user (name, comments,) This allows general aspects of primer management (sequences and real tubes).

AmplifX can also design new primers.

What's new in this version:

  • Modification of primer list format (automatically updated when open with AmplifX 1.5.0 or superior).
  • To work on a shared primer collection into a team or a lab, the best way is to use the same primer list file into the local network. To help working in this way, now, AmplifX manages a locking system that allow only the first user to write into the primer list and save changes. The other users can only read the file and must « save as... » if they make some changes. After the first user close the file, the lock is destroyed and one other user can reload the modified primer list and make its own changes.
  • A new column "Owner" is especially useful in the context of shared primer list. Its entry is made easier by a scrolling menu.
  • Heights and widths of the columns of the primer list and size and position of the main window are restored at each launching of AmplifX.
  • To each new added primer, an id is automatically created (it can be changed by hand, of course). The program analyses previous ids and increment them: they can be constructed with any prefix and a number possibly formatted with a constant number of digits: example Pr0001, Pr0002,...
  • End of line characters are forbidden into any primer list fields: Enter and Return keys are managed in the same way as the tab key: editing of the next field.
  • Add amplicon size information into found primer pairs of the Primer design window.
  • The primer design window is not resizable anymore.
  • Management of expiration date for the beta releases of AmplifX.
  • Drag and drop is now properly managed into the target sequence text field: dragging from an outside source (text editor, web page) insert recognized ATGC (upper and lower cases) at the insertion point. But dragging from the target sequence field itself is forbidden. Because it has appeared to be triggered accidentally (while playing with selection for example.
  • Automatic fetch for AmplifX updates.
  • Automatic request for registration (after using AmplifX for a while) by an integrated form. (Note: registering and giving some feedback is not very time consuming but very motivating and interesting for the kind developer that improve this program in his free time.)
  • Fixing paste function in the search dialog and in the ID and description of the primer list.
  • Fixing zoom function triggered by the drag + cap key: the zoomed map is well centered on the dragged region.
