Developer
PrimerCat is an independent research tool I built while working in a molecular biology laboratory. It combines sequence retrieval, candidate design, database screening, and result records in one workflow while retaining key parameters and decision evidence.
Why I built this
Sequence-tool outputs are easier to review when the template, parameters, database scope, and screening status remain traceable. PrimerCat therefore shows the selected transcript, score components, hit records, and known boundaries alongside each result. This information supports candidate comparison and decision records; computational output does not replace experimental validation.
