<h2>How should I format my CSV?</h2>

<p>The CSV should have two (or three) columns. The first should be the <strong>name</strong> of the primer, and the second should be its <strong>sequence</strong>. The third is an optional <strong>notes</strong> column.</p>

<p>The CSV should have a header (it'll be stripped off, so if you don't include a header your first row won't be checked). The actual content of the header doesn't matter.</p>

<p>Sequences can include whitespace, and it doesn't matter if they're in mixed case (some capital, some lowercase). If there are any characters other than whitespace or A/C/T/G, though, the sequence will be considered invalid and the row will be skipped.</p>

<p>Empty rows in the CSV will be skipped.</p>

<p>Here's an example of a well-formatted CSV file:</p>

<table class="csv">
  <tr>
    <th>Name</th>
    <th>Sequence</th>
    <th>Notes</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>ABC123</td>
    <td>AAAAG cccggtgtgaacat</td>
    <td>This isn't a real sequence.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>DEF456</td>
    <td>actgtGATtgtac</td>
    <td>Neither is this.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>GHI789</td>
    <td>gattaca</td>
    <td>Pretty solid film.</td>
  </tr>
