CottonGen Primer3

Description

Primer3web version 4.0.0 allows users to pick PCR primers from a DNA sequence based on criteria including:

  • oligonucleotide melting temperature, size, GC content, and primer-dimer possibilities,

  • PCR product size,

  • positional constraints within the source (template) sequence, and

  • possibilities for ectopic priming (amplifying the wrong sequence)

  • many other constraints.

All of these criteria are user-specifiable as constraints, and some are specifiable as terms in an objective function that characterizes an optimal primer pair.
