Displaying a virtual electrophoresis map

Hello,

I want to display a virtual electrophoresis map based on a DNA template (i.e. a long DNA sequence) and some primer pairs. I do not want to do PCR experiment and run a real gel. Do you know if there is a tool to help me?

Thanks for any comments.

An old main paper:

Thanks for your answer, but my question seems not be solved. I hope to input a DNA sequence (as templates) and some primer pairs. Then,the tool can generate a virtual electrophoretic gel image, where each lane correpsonds to the amplification result of a primer pair.
