The input to the primer redundancy package is a fasta file (.fasta extension) containing the set of sequences that needs to be checked for redundancy. This analysis tool is built around the pairwise comparison algorithm with the restriction of no gap and no mismatch. MON SSR project data was not included in the primer redundancy analysis due to the lack of data on target repeat motifs.
