Primer Design Check#

In silico primer validation tool.

Use Cases#

• qPCR primer design
• Sequencing primer check
• Mutagenesis primer validation

Parameters#

• forward_primer: F sequence
• reverse_primer: R sequence
• template: Target genome (optional)

Returns#

• Dimer prediction
• Hairpin analysis
• Off-target BLAST results
• Tm and GC% calculations

Example#

Flags: Self-dimer detected at 3' end → redesign recommended
