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 deoxyribonucleotide 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 deoxynucleotide 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:

· 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.

· 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:

· 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.

· 1 SantaLucia 1998. This is the recommended value.

· 2 Owczarzy et al., 2004.

-i
prints references to publications which were used for thermodynamic calculations.
