Primer SelectionPrimer Selection
Try to achieve similar Tm for all primers: Ideal ~60C.(Future multiplexing or use of Taqman assays in mind)
Forward and reverse primer should have Tm -4kcal/mol to avoid stable primer dimers
Design via software (Always use the same one):
Always perform a BLAST search with your amplicon andprimers( Specificity of the PCR)
