GRSandPRIMED
Genome Retrieval Script (GRS) and PRIMED
Genome Retrieval Script (GRS) is a Python-based customizable, open source code for genome analysis. GRS comes with detailed directions about how it can be modified to retrieve custom sequences from any annotated genome.
Using GRS, the authors created PRIMED: the complete PRIMEr Database for deleting and C-terminal tagging every protein-coding gene in the main S. pombe and five of the most commonly used S. cerevisiae strains. In addition to protein-coding genes, we provide the complete deletion primer set for deleting all noncoding RNAs in each genome. PRIMED have been tested for accuracy and are provided as downloadable Excel files.
The publication describing the software and the primers it generated are described in a PLOS ONE paper.
