What are primer dimers in pcr?

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 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.


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 the function of EDTA in PCR?

It Inhibits the PCR reaction by chelating the magnesium ions.


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

IT act as a buffering agent to maintain the PH of a PCR


What will happen if PCR reaction is performed using forward primer only?

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.
