+PerlPrimer is a free, open-source GUI application written in Perl 
+that designs primers for standard PCR, bisulphite PCR, real-time PCR 
+(QPCR) and sequencing. It aims to automate and simplify the process 
+of primer design. 
+
+PerlPrimer's current features include the following:
+
+- Calculation of possible primer-dimers
+- Retrieval of genomic or cDNA sequences from Ensembl (including both 
+  sequences automatically for QPCR)
+- Ability to BLAST search primers using the NCBI server or a local 
+  server
+- Results can be saved or optionally exported in a tab-delimited 
+  format that is compatible with most spreadsheet applications.
+- ORF and CpG island detection algorithms
+- Ability to add cloning sequences to primers, automatically adjusted 
+  to be in-frame
+- QPCR primer design without manual intron-exon boundary entry 
+
+For details and citation:
+Marshall OJ. PerlPrimer: cross-platform, graphical primer design for 
+standard, bisulphite and real-time PCR. Bioinformatics 2004 
+20(15):2471-2472
+
+This requires perl-tk and libwww-perl.
+For Real Time PCR, spidey is required.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
