browser = Mechanize.new
browser.post('https://gecftools.epfl.ch/getprime/primers/search', {
                      "ensembl_version" => 81,
                      "identifiers" => 'mdm1',
                      "limit" => 2, ## max authorized is 1000
                      "organism_id" => 5,
                      "format" => 'json'
