Summary: Please contact Dr. Steven Wilhelm ([email protected]) or Samantha Coy ([email protected]) for additional information regarding this protocol. De-MetaST-BLAST, written in C++, is a script that can validate degenerate primers by performing in silico PCR amplification of the primers against metagenomic and metatranscriptomic databases (e.g. CAMERA; MG-RAST). The output is a list of in-silco PCR amplicons that are then blasted against GenBank to determine the most homologous sequence to the amplicon. Modified from Gulvik, C. A., Effler, T. C., Wilhelm, S. W., & Buchan, A. (2012). De-MetaST-BLAST: A Tool for the Validation of Degenerate Primer Sets and Data Mining of Publicly Available Metagenomes. PLoS ONE,7(11). doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0050362
