Oligo is a multi-functional program that searches for and selects oligonucleotides from a sequence file for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, site-directed mutagenesis, and various hybridization applications.

Oligo calculates hybridization temperature and secondary structure of oligonucleotides based on the nearest neighbor thermodynamic values.

Oligo is also a good tool for construction of synthetic genes, finding an appropriate sequencing primer among those already synthesized, finding and multiplexing consensus prmers and probes, and even finding potential restriction sites in a protein.

The Oligo software has been broadly accepted as the industry software standard for selecting and analyzing oligonucleotides for various molecular biology applications.

Oligo was introduced for the first time as a commercial software in 1989.

The Oligo demo is a functional software where you can check your own primers, but you cannot search for primers using your own sequence file.

Limitations:

· The demo version has no expiration date but you may work only on a pre-loaded sequence.
· Some features are disabled in the demo version.
