We gratefully acknowledge the support of
Digital Equipment Corporation,
which provided the Alphas which were used for much
of the development of Primer3, and of
Centerline Software, Inc.,
whose TestCenter memory-error, -leak, and test-coverage checker
we use regularly to discover and correct otherwise latent
errors in Primer3.
Original design of this primer-picking web site
by Richard Resnick, who
also is an author of this site\'s documentation.
Primer3\'s design is heavily based on earlier
implementations of similar programs:
Primer 0.5 (Steve Lincoln, Mark Daly, and Eric
S. Lander) and Primer v2 (Richard Resnick).
Lincoln Stein championed the use of the Boulder-IO
format and the idea of
making the Primer3 engine a software component.
