Dear newsgroup readers!

I am thinking of making an oligonucleotide chip and I am looking for
software which helps me in designing the oligos. My idea is that
repetetive sequences should be eliminated, that stemloop, GC-content,
length etc should be adjusted, and that specificity should be checked
e.g. by blasting of the oligosequence against databases. I was
searching the net a little bit for (ideally free) software that might
serve my purpose - without much success. Maybe some of you can help
me.

Thanks in advance!

W.Z.
