Study Notes
Primer Design in PCR
- The recommended length for a primer in PCR is typically between 18-24 nucleotides.
- The optimal melting temperature (Tm) range for a primer in PCR is between 55°C-65°C, with an ideal Tm around 60°C.
- The recommended percentage GC content for a primer in PCR is between 40-60%.
