Generate DNA barcode sets with guaranteed minimum edit distance between any two barcodes. Levenshtein string distance is used, so errors can be detected and/or corrected when the barcode is embedded in a known sequence context, such as a barcoded primer or vector. Similar to DNABarcodes, but may yield larger barcode sets in less time.
Requires python 3.6 or higher. The example below uses conda, available here.
conda create -n dnabarcodes python=3.6
conda activate dnabarcodes
conda install -y --file requirements.txt
python barcode_design.py -h
python barcode_design.py
