PrimerAnalyser

provides comprehensive analysis of sequence with standard and mixed bases, as well as DNA, RNA, methylated, locked and phosphorothioated bases; tool will calculate the physical properties of the sequence including length, CG content, melting temperature, molecular weight, the extiction coefficient, the optical density (OD), sequence linguistic complexity, primer PCR efficiency, self-dimers and G-quadruplexes detection.
The melting temperature calculations are based on nearest neighbour thermodynamic parameters for standard and degenerate oligonucleotides including LNA and other modifications. And provides a dilution and resuspension calculator for stocks.

IUPAC DNA degenerate code is an extended vocabulary of 11 letters which allows the description of ambiguous DNA code. Each letter represents a combination of one or several nucleotides:
B=(C,G,T), D=(A,G,T), H=(A,C,T), K=(G,T), M=(A,C), N=(A,C,G,T), R=(A,G), S=(G,C), V=(A,C,G), W=(A,T), Y=(C,T).
U=Uracil; I=Inosine; and LNA: dA=E, dC=F, dG=J, dT=L.

The tools are written in Java with NetBeans IDE (Apache) and require the Java 8 Runtime Environment (Java SE 8 Platform) or use OpenWebStart an open source reimplementation of the Java Web Start technology for latest Java SE 20.

Understanding a Java error message:
If the Java security level is set to "Very High" then no unsigned Java programs are allowed to execute.

Solution:
Add http://primerdigital.com/ site to "Exception Site List", and set "Security Level" to High.
