FEMS: This looks new, at least for me, I do not see the NIH grant mentioned here as before!!!

DNAPrint Genomics has developed a Front-End Management System (FEMS) software product to
manage the workflow of DNA through automated DNA analysis equipment. FEMS is a software
product developed by DNAPrint programmers to refine and store information about raw sequence
alignments, candidate SNPs and biochemical reagents necessary for conducting polymorphism
discovery experiments (i.e. oligonucleotides). The SNiPdoc system operates FEMS works closely with
the Finch database licensed by the company from Geospiza. The most recent versions of FEMS
include software that is specifically suited for the design of re-sequencing (sequencing the same gene
from multiple donors) experiments starting with raw human genome data files (NCBI Genbank). The
software system defines "important" and "unimportant" regions of a human genome DNA sequence
file, designs primers to flank pertinent regions of the file and formats these primers for easy
ligonucleotide ordering from third party vendors. The software accomplishes in seconds what it
previously took a scientist an hour or more to accomplish during the tedious process of experimental
design.
