+      ecoPCR is an electronic PCR software developed by the LECA. It
+      helps you estimate Barcode primers quality. In conjunction with
+      OBITools, you can postprocess ecoPCR output to compute barcode
+      coverage and barcode specificity. New barcode primers can be
+      developed using the ecoPrimers software.
