OLIGOTM(1)
NAME
oligotm - Prints oligo's melting temperature on stdout
SYNOPSIS
oligotm [OPTIONS] {oligo}
where oligo is a DNA sequence of between 2 and 36 bases
DESCRIPTION
oligotm prints the melting temperature of a given
desoxyribooligonucleotide on the standard output. It is part of the
oligotm library.
OPTIONS
- -mv monovalent_conc
- Concentration of monovalent cations in mM, by default 50 mM.
- -dv divalent_conc
- Concentration of divalent cations in mM, by default 0 mM.
- -n dNTP_conc
- Concentration of deoxynycleotide triphosphate in mM, by default
0 mM. - -d dna_conc
- Concentration of DNA strands in nM, by default 50 nM.
- -tp [0|1]
- Specifies the table of thermodynamic parameters and the method of
melting temperature calculation: - o 0 Breslauer et al., 1986 and Rychlik et al., 1990 (used by
primer3 up to and including release 1.1.0). This is the
default, but not the recommended value. - o 1 Use nearest neighbor parameter from SantaLucia 1998. This is
the recommended value.
- -sc [0..2]
- Specifies salt correction formula for the melting temperature
calculation: - o 0 Schildkraut and Lifson 1965, used by primer3 up to and
including release 1.1.0. This is the default, but not the recommended value.
- o 1 SantaLucia 1998. This is the recommended value.
- o 1 Owczarzy et al., 2004.
- -i
- prints references to publications which were used for thermodynamic calculations.
