The development of Primer3 and the Primer3 web site was funded by Howard Hughes Medical Institute and by the National Institutes of Health, National Human Genome Research Institute. under grants R01-HG00257 (to David C. Page) and P50-HG00098 (to Eric S. Lander).
We thank Centerline Software, Inc., for use of their TestCenter memory-error, -leak, and test-coverage checker.
Primer3 was a complete re-implementation
of an earlier program:
Primer 0.5 (Steve Lincoln, Mark Daly, and Eric
S. Lander).
Lincoln Stein championed the
idea of making Primer3 a software component suitable for high-throughput
primer design.
