摘要: Selecting specific primers is crucial for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Nonspecific will bind to unintended genes and result in nonspecific amplicons. MFEprimer a program checking the specificity of PCR against background DNA. In this chapter, we introduce: (1) factors that affect primers; (2) principle its settings; (3) how use examine primers.
