Beacon Designer designs primers and probes for real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assays.It is compatible to work on Windows as well as on Mac. The software currently supports the following real-time PCR chemistries for primer and probe design:
Primer Premier is a bioinformatics software used for various PCR applications. It supports the design of degenerate primers for amplifying a related set of nucleotide sequences for the detection of common traits amongst organisms, as well as to determine heredity. [1] The software also designs tagged and nested primers for multiplex PCR ...
OLIGO Primer Analysis Software is a software for DNA primer design. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The first paper describing this software was published in 1989. [ 3 ] The program is a real time PCR primer and probe search and analysis tool.
The design of appropriate short or long primer pairs is only one goal of PCR product prediction. Other information provided by in silico PCR tools may include determining primer location, orientation, length of each amplicon, simulation of electrophoretic mobility, identification of open reading frames, and links to other web resources.

For this reason, it is critical to accurately predict the melting curve of PCR products when designing primers that will distinguish sequence variants. Specialty software, such as uMelt [13] and DesignSignatures, [14] are available to help design primers that will maximize melting curve variability specifically for high-resolution melting assays.
Annealing of the 3' end of one primer to itself or the second primer may cause primer extension, resulting in the formation of so-called primer dimers, visible as low-molecular-weight bands on PCR gels. [15] Primer dimer formation often competes with formation of the DNA fragment of interest, and may be avoided using primers that are designed ...
The primer design for all primers pairs has to be optimized so that all primer pairs can work at the same annealing temperature during PCR. Multiplex-PCR was first described in 1988 as a method to detect deletions in the dystrophin gene. [1] It has also been used with the steroid sulfatase gene. [2]
The first is called chromosome (or primer) walking and starts with sequencing the first piece. The next (contiguous) piece of the sequence is then sequenced using a primer which is complementary to the end of the first sequence read and so on. This technique doesn't require much assembling, but you need a lot of primers and it is relatively ...
