 Description: Tool to test a DNA sequence for the presence of sequence tagged sites
- Electronic PCR feature to test a DNA sequence for the presence of
- sequence tagged sites. e-PCR looks for STSs in DNA sequences by
- searching for subsequences that closely match the PCR primers and have
- the correct order, orientation, and spacing that they could plausibly
- prime the amplification of a PCR product of the correct molecular weight
- (Schuler, Genome Research 7:541-50, 1997).
+ Electronic PCR (e-PCR) is computational procedure that is used to identify
+ sequence tagged sites(STSs), within DNA sequences. e-PCR looks for potential
+ STSs in DNA sequences by searching for subsequences that closely match the
+ PCR primers and have the correct order, orientation, and spacing that could
+ represent the PCR primers used to generate known STSs.
+ .
+ The new version of e-PCR implements a fuzzy matching strategy. To reduce
+ likelihood that a true STS will be missed due to mismatches, multiple
+ discontigous words may be used instead of a single exact word. Each of this
+ word has groups of significant positions seperated by 'wildcard' positions
+ that are not required to match. In addition, it is also possible to allow
+ gaps in the primer alignments.
+ .
+ The main motivation for implementing reverse searching (called Reverse e-PCR)
+ was to make it feasible to search the human genome sequence and other large
+ genomes. The new version of e-PCR provides a search mode using a query
+ sequence against a sequence database.
