# Description: This program designs primers for constructing knockouts
# of genes by transformation of PCR products (ref: Datsenko & Wanner,
# PNAS 2000).  A tab-delimtied file containing ORF START STOP is read,
# and primers flanking the start & stop coordinates are designed based
# on the user-designated sequence file.  In addition, primers flanking
# the knockout regions are chosen for PCR screening purposes once the
# knockout is generated.  The script uses Bioperl in order to
# determine the primer sequences, which requires getting subsequences
# and reverse complementing some of the objects.

# make_primers.pl
# Purpose: Design primers for the Wanner method of PCR product-based knockouts
# Input: FASTA sequence file, tab-delimited coordinates file
# Output: Primer output file
