A deterministic behavior of systems composed of several modules is a desirable design goal. Assembling a complex system from components requires also a high degree of re-usability....
Background: The design of oligonucleotides and PCR primers for studying large genomes is complicated by the redundancy of sequences. The eukaryotic genomes are particularly diffic...
