The Developer Edition provides the same easy to use interface as the standard Visual OMP, but adds an API for scripting programmatic access to the OMP simulation engine. This makes it easy to use OMP for batch runs, integrate PERL and incorporate OMP into high-throughput applications and other existing bioinformatics workflows.

OMP DE includes:

• A defined scripting language, allowing OMP to be “programmed” for specific tasks necessary to users or client applications,
• Rich modeling functionality, including capabilities to predict DNA microarray effectiveness, PCR and PCR multiplexed efficiency, and oligo probe and primer interactions (dimerization)

• Interface with the sequence and annotation data in the SNP database
• Interface with the Oracle, SQL and MS ACCESS database format
• A cutting edge peer-to-peer distributed computing architecture which allows OMP to run across a cluster or network of PCs, making OMP scalable and extremely fast
• Cross-platform capability to run on most any commercial Windows, Linux, or Unix machine
• Fully encapsulated hybridization science functions of Visual OMP which precisely predict the DNA hybridization that will result from any specific oligo experiment under a variety different design conditions.
