Primerdimer occur, when the Primer are -or parts- are complementary (3' of the FOR- and 3' of the REV-Primer). While PCR both oligos hybridizate and are elongated. The Product contains both primer sequences. Primerdimers reduce the avaiable ammount of primers for the pcr-reaction. Therefore the pcr effectivity is reduced because of this non-specific reaction.

What is pcr primer design ROLE?
The role of PCR primer design is to expand a few or a single copies of DNA across several orders of DNA. You basically make a lot of copies and use them for research. Attached are links to video webinars and primer design tools. They were made by IDT, or Integrated DNA technology. They are a company that leads the industry in this research.
Centrosomes are sites where protein dimers assemble into?
Microtubules
Why do you use a negative control in PCR?
to check is there any contamination in pcr products
What is the function of EDTA in PCR?
It Inhibits the PCR reaction by chelating the magnesium ions.
What is the defference between Real-time PCR and reverse transcriptase PCR?
Difference between real time PCR and reverse transcription PCR is as follows:- 1. Real time PCR is donated as qPCR and on the other hand reverse transcription PCR is denoted as RT-PCR. 2. In qPCR, the template used is single strand DNA strand whereas in the RT-PCR, the template used in process is single strand of RNA. 3. The real time PCR enables both quantification as well as detection of the DNA in the real time whereas the RT-PCR enables only the quantification of the RNA and it is little bit slower process then the qPCR as it first produce the cDNA from the template RNA strand and then process it in the similar fashion as the traditional PCR.
Nucleotide sequence that starts PCR processes?
Primer sequences
How can I check am I using correct primer sequence in my PCR?
you should use "Primer blast" at NCBI site
What is ARMS PCR?
It is a special type of PCR amplification, that contains the normal external primer for PCR and 2 extra primers specific for each different base of a SNP.
In polymerase chain reaction how many kinds of primer are used?
In the simplest form of PCR, there are two types of primers used: The forward primer The reverse primer
What is a fusion primer?
Not 100% sure, but I believe it's a primer with a linker attached to it. A linker is a short DNA that has a restriction site built-in. Imagine this: you want to amplify a gene by PCR, but it has no suitable restriction site for you to clone into a vector. So by PCR with a fusion primer (with built-in restriction site), you can simply digest the ends and ligate it into your vector
What will happen if PCR reaction is performed using forward primer only?
It will say,"Go home, you are drunk."

What is the function of primer in PCR?
it synthesizes a single RNA primer at the 5' end of the leading end.
What is primer in pcr?
A primer (oligonucleotide of a specific sequence) is required for Taq polymerase to extend the template strand by adding complementary nucleotides. The function of the primer is to anneal to the template strand at a very specific site and facilitate the initiation of strand elongation mediated by Taqploymerase.
What is meant by primer needs to span exon-exon junction?
so that the primers for target mrna you are tyring to amplify for q-pcr/pcr does not also amplify genomic dna which might be contamination from your purification, because the gDNA will not be amplified due to the intronic sequence (primer wont bind) and will only bind the exonic mrna sequence
How do you predict a PCR product size from a gene cloned into an expression vector?
It all depends on where you primers are. Presumably you will have one primer that sits on the cloned gene and one that sits on the vector (that way you only get a product if the gene has cloned successfully). As long as you know where your primers land, it should be easy to work out how big the PCR product will be simply by adding the distance from the primer on the gene to the end of the gene and the distance from the primer on the vector to the end of the vector.
What reagents do you use in pcr?
in pcr technique we take original dna first heat it to separate to strands in thermocycler then add rna primer after the formation of about 10 sequences on both parental strands add dna polymerase to construct further
