PRIMER
PREMIER is one of the most comprehensive primer design tools available
to design optimal primers for PCR, sequencing and hybridization quickly.
Primers can be designed automatically or manually. With the automatic
search, the program gradually relaxes the stringency of the search until
the best possible primers available within the target sequence are
found. The primers are located to optimize for Tm, GC%, GC clamping, 3`
end stability, and to minimize hairpins and dimers. For experimental
designs requiring a finer degree of control, the manual search allows
exact primer criteria to be set and all primers meeting the criteria are
located. The resultant primers are ranked both individually and paired
based on their priming efficiency. The selected primers or pairs can be
ordered easily by printing the synthesis order form
provided.
