Past Projects (II)

After my PhD, I spent one year at the National Center of Genotyping based at Evry in the mass spectrometry team directed by Ivo Gut. The method for genotyping, called the GOOD-Assay used a primer extension of one base followed by a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, in multiplex.

c est moi qui l ai fait !


Here, I created a tool called SnipMachine used to find the best primers for this test according to the possible masses, the steric problems, the self/inter hybridization, etc... Here is an output.
