oligoscreen

oligoscreen is used to calculate thermodynamic parameters for a group of oligonucleotides.

USAGE: oligoscreen <list file> <report file> [options]

Required parameters:

<ct file> The name of a file containing the oligo list.
<report file> The name of a report file to which output will be written.

Options which don't require added values:

-d, -D, --DNA Specify that the sequence is DNA, and DNA parameters are to be used.
Default is to use RNA parameters.
-h, -H, --help Display the usage details message.

Options which require added values:

-t, -T, --temperature Specify the temperature at which calculation takes place in Kelvin.
Default is 310.15 K, which is 37 degrees C.
