Genomecomb moved to github on https://github.com/derijkp/genomecomb with documentation on https://derijkp.github.io/genomecomb. For up to date versions, go there. These pages only remain here for the data on the older scientific application (or if someone really needs a long obsolete version of the software)

check primer sets for multiple amplicons and snps
This command checks a list of primersets, given in a tab separated file with at least the columns name, primer1, primer2. It will add the location of the amplicon amplified by these primers (in the genome given in dbdir) as columns chromosome, begin, end. If the full primers match more than one amplicon, these values cannot be attributed.
The command will also perform an ePCR by checking if the 15base end parts of the primers amplify more than 1 amplicon; the number of amplicons found is in the column "numamplicons", the location of the amplicons in "amplicons".
The positions of the primers are checked for known snps (in dbsnp). All snps found are listed in the columns "primer1_snps" and /"primer2_snps", together with information about position,frequency and validation status. The frequency of the most frequent snp is shown in columns "primer1_snpsmaxfreq" and "primer2_snpsmaxfreq".
The "amplicon_fts" column will list any homopolymers detected in the amplicon.
