The OLIGO has been reviewed several times in scientific journals, for the first time in 1991 in a review in Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and for its next upgrades (with OLIGO 7 being the latest one in 2011). It has been created and maintained by Wojciech Rychlik and Piotr Rychlik. The program is a comprehensive real time PCR primer and probe search and analysis tool, and also does other tasks such as siRNA and molecular beacon searches, open reading frame, restriction enzyme analysis, etc. The first papers describing this software were published in 19, and consecutive upgrades in the 1990s and 2000s, all have been cited together over 600 times in scientific journals and over 500 times in patents (according to Scopus). OLIGO Primer Analysis Software was the first publicly available software for DNA primer design.
