How can I design my own primer for free?
Here is a list of 13 free primer design programs to use when designing primers:
- 1Primer-BLAST. Primer-BLAST was developed by NCBI and utilises the Primer3 platform in combination with the BLAST algorithm.
- 2Primer3.
- 3Primer3Plus.
- 4PrimerQuest.
- 5OligoPerfect.
- 6PerlPrimer.
- 7OLIGO.
- 8GenScript Real-time PCR (TaqMan) Primer Design.
What software is used to design primers?
PerlPrimer. OLIGO. GenScript Online PCR Primers Designs Tool. AutoPrime.
How do you design specific primers?
The process of designing specific primers typically involves two stages. First, the primers flanking regions of interest are generated either manually or using software tools; then they are searched against an appropriate nucleotide sequence database using tools such as BLAST to examine the potential targets.
Where can I find primer binding site?
You will start to get sequence ~20 bp downstream of your primer. If the PCR product is <800 bp then your sequence should run toward the opposing primer and will end around 5-10 bp from the end of your PCR product. From here you should be able to get an approximation of the primer binding site in your target gene.
How do you order primers?
How to design and order Primers
- Length:
- Primers with long runs of a single base should generally be avoided.
- Primers should have a GC-content between 50 and 70 %
- If possible, primers should be stickier at the 5′ ends than at the 3’end.
- Primers should not contain complimentary sequences (palindromes) within themselves.

Which is a popular all purpose primer design software tool?
The most reliable tool is NCBI primer blast.

How do I choose primers for PCR?
A good length for PCR primers is generally around 18-30 bases. Specificity usually is dependent on length and annealing temperature. The shorter the primers are, the more efficiently they will bind or anneal to the target.
What is a good Delta G for primers?
Ideally the Delta G values for your primers are more positive than -9 kca/mole, however it is not guaranteed that you will experience problems for primers with Delta G values more negative than this.
