title: SNPbox: web-based high-throughput primer design from gene to genome.
abstract: SNPbox is a modular software package that automates the design of PCR primers for large-scale amplification and sequencing projects in a standardized manner resulting in high-quality PCR amplicons with a low failure rate. Here, we present the SNPbox web server at http://www.SNPbox.org, which hosts the SNPbox web service as well as the data from SNPbox analysis of all Ensembl exons. The data of this genome-wide SNPbox application can be visualized in Ensembl's ContigView through a DAS (distributed annotation system) annotation server.
