The sequences among subgenomes in a polyploid species have high similarity, making it difficult to design genome-specific primers for sequence analysis.
We present GSP, a web-based platform to design genome-specific primers that distinguish subgenome sequences in a polyploid genome. GSP uses BLAST to extract homeologous sequences of the subgenomes in existing databases, performs a multiple sequence alignment, and design primers based on sequence variants in the alignment. An interactive primers diagram, a sequence alignment viewer and a virtual electrophoresis are displayed as parts of the primer design result. GSP also designs specific primers from multiple sequences uploaded by users.
GSP is a user-friendly and efficient web platform freely accessible at http://probes.pw.usda.gov/GSP Source code and command-line application are available at https://github.com/bioinfogenome/GSP CONTACTS: yong.gu@ars.usda.gov or devin.coleman-derr@ars.usda.gov

多倍体物种中亚基因组之间的序列具有高度相似性,因此难以设计用于序列分析的基因组特异性引物。
我们提出了 GSP,这是一个基于网络的平台,用于设计基因组特异性引物,以区分多倍体基因组中的亚基因组序列。GSP 使用 BLAST 从现有数据库中提取亚基因组的同源序列,进行多序列比对,并根据比对中的序列变异设计引物。交互式引物图、序列比对查看器和虚拟电泳作为引物设计结果的一部分显示。GSP 还可以根据用户上传的多个序列设计特定的引物。
GSP 是一个用户友好且高效的网络平台,可免费在 http://probes.pw.usda.gov/GSP 上访问。源代码和命令行应用程序可在 https://github.com/bioinfogenome/GSP 上获得。
