Nagi et al. 2024 - AnoPrimer: Primer Design in malaria vectors informed by range-wide genomic variation

Nagi et al. (2024) AnoPrimer: Primer Design in malaria vectors informed by range-wide genomic variation was published in Wellcome Open Research.

The paper describes AnoPrimer which is a Python package which exploits data from the vector observatory to allow rapid primer design in An. gambiae and An. funestus, whilst summarising genetic variation in the primer binding sites and visualising the position of primer pairs.
