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.
NetPrimer is a gratis web-based tool used for analysing primers used in PCR to amplify a DNA sequence. [2] The software predicts the melting temperature of the primers using the nearest neighbor thermodynamic algorithm. The accurate prediction of the melting temperature (Tm) is one of the most important factors that governs the success of a PCR ...
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.

In addition to typical primer design considerations, the design of primers for high-resolution melting assays involves maximizing the thermodynamic differences between PCR products belonging to different genotypes. Smaller amplicons generally yield greater melting temperature variation than longer amplicons, but the variability cannot be ...
The RNAiFold software provides two algorithms to solve the inverse folding problem: i) RNA-CPdesign explores the complete search space and ii) RNA-LNSdesign based on the large neighborhood search metaheuristic is suitable to design large structures. The software can also design interacting RNA molecules using RNAcofold of the ViennaRNA Package.
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP-PCR or AFLP) is a PCR-based tool used in genetics research, DNA fingerprinting, and in the practice of genetic engineering. Developed in the early 1990s by Pieter Vos, [ 1 ] AFLP uses restriction enzymes to digest genomic DNA , followed by ligation of adaptors to the sticky ends of the restriction ...
Primer dimer formation often competes with formation of the DNA fragment of interest, and may be avoided using primers that are designed such that they lack complementarity—especially at the 3' ends—to itself or the other primer used in the reaction. If primer design is constrained by other factors and if primer-dimers do occur, methods to ...
