Tools to store PCR-derived data

MIPE provides a standard format to exchange and/or storage of all information associated with PCR experiments using a flat text file. This will:

 * allow for exchange of PCR data between researchers/laboratories
 * enable traceability of the data
 * prevent problems when submitting data to dbSTS or dbSNP
 * enable the writing of standard scripts to extract data (e.g. a
   list of PCR primers, SNP positions or haplotypes for different animals)

Although this tool can be used for data storage, it's primary focus should be data exchange. For larger repositories, relational databases are more appropriate for storage of these data. The MIPE format could then be used as a standard format to import into and/or export from these databases.

MIPE was published in: Aerts J & Veenendaal T. MIPE - a XML-format to facilitate the storage and exchange of PCR-related data. Online Journal of Bioinformatics 6(2): 114-120 (2005).
