Probe Designer for uSeqFISH and HCR

This tool designs probes for a given gene.

We are currently working on deploying an accessible web app for probe design, but in the mean time you can use it through the source code.

Installation

Download probe_design.py, requirements.txt, db, and the example file for the method you want (either HCR3_probe_example.py or useqFISH_probe_example.py).

Open the terminal and cd to the directory with your files. Make sure you have all the requirements installed by running pip install -r requirements.txt. Next, open the example files and edit the inputs to your needs. Finally, run the example file. This should create an excel file containing your probe designs.
