Because of its reliability, sensitivity and low cost, PCR has become the backbone of modern diagnostics. In recent years, researchers have ingeniously capitalized on the fundamental nature of PCR ...

The video above has some helpful tips for designing PCR primers for one purpose - cloning with restriction enzymes. PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a very common tool used in molecular biology to ...

In this video from Thermo Fisher Scientific, a few tips for better PCR primer design are presented. PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a common and vital part of genetic studies, biomedical research ...

GeneFisher—fishing for genes, perhaps? Fishing genes out of genomes? Just fishing? The subtitle, Interactive PCR Primer Design, “hooked me” (get it?) but it shouldn’t have in retrospect. After all, ...

The key to an optimal PCR experiment is primer design. In general, primers should be between 18 and 24 nucleotides long and have a GC content between 40 and 60 percent. Ideally primers should contain ...
