About
Hilite came about as a result of a need for viewing overlapping highlighted segments in a text document. One specific use case addressed by this app is, discriminating between overlapping primers used in various molecular biology techniques. Highlighting text in a word processor simply overwrites all existing highlights. Hilite addresses this problem by displaying highlights as overlapping layers. We expect this app to be a very useful tool for research.
