mipe is:

MIPE provides a standard format to exchange and/or storage of all information associated with PCR experiments using a flat text file. This will:

• allow for exchange of PCR data between researchers/laboratories
• enable traceability of the data
• prevent problems when submitting data to dbSTS or dbSNP
• enable the writing of standard scripts to extract data (e.g. a list of PCR primers, SNP positions or haplotypes for different animals)
