MFEprimer 3.2.1 – PCR Primer Specificity Checking Program

MFEprimer 3.2.1

:: DESCRIPTION

MFEprimer : Multiple factor evaluation of the specificity of PCR primers. This program is designed to evaluate the specificity of PCR primers based on known multiple factors including sequence similarity, stability at the 3’end of the primer, melting temperature, GC content, and number of binding sites between the primers and DNA templates. It can help the user to select more suitable primers before running either standard or multiplex PCR reactions.
