What you can do: Design PCR primers for large-scale resequencing of exons.
Highlights:
  • Using the Primer3 algorithm, EasyExonPrimer is a web-based software that automates the design of PCR primers to amplify exon sequences from genomic DNA.
  • It masks repeats and known single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in the genome and designs standardized primers using optimized conditions.
  • Users can input genes by RefSeq mRNA ID, gene name or keyword.
  • The primer design is optimized for large-scale resequencing of exons.
  • For exons larger than 1 kb, the user has the option of breaking the exon sequence down into overlapping smaller fragments.
  • All primer pairs are then verified using the In-Silico PCR software to test for uniqueness in the genome.
Keywords:
  • PCR primers design tool
