ipcress is the In-silico PCR Experiment Simulation System.

This is a tool for simulation of PCR experiments. You supply a file containing primers and a set of sequences, and it predicts PCR products.

INPUT FORMAT

The input for ipcress is a simple white-space delimited file describing
one experiment per line.  Each line contains the following 5 fields:

id                An identifier for this experiment
primer_A          Sequence for the first primer
primer_B          Sequence for the second primer
min_product_len   Minimum product length to report
max_product_len   Maximum product length to report

Here is an example line in this format:

ID0001 CATGCATGCATGC CGATGCANGCATGCT 900 1100
