PrimersList

analyzes different features of multiple primers simultaneously, the melting temperature calculation for standard and degenerate oligonucleotides, GC content, primer PCR efficiency; primers are analyzed for all primer secondary structures including G-quadruplexes detection, hairpins, self-dimers and cross-dimers in primer pairs; sequence linguistic complexity, molecular weight, the extiction coefficient, the optical density (OD);
the optimal temperature of annealing (Ta) calculation for all given primers.

Write or paste your primer sequences to the input field (upper window). The analyzer accepts text and table format (can be copied from an Excel file, for example). Note: This analyzer requires at least 1 primer sequence in the input field.

• A name is (not) required for each primer (eg. Seq1 agtcagtcagtcagtcagtc).
• The name and sequence string can be separated with either space or tab, as long as the style is the same for all the primers.
• Degenerate primer sequences are also accepted. Each letter represents a combination of one or several nucleotides: B=(C,G,T), D=(A,G,T), H=(A,C,T), K=(G,T), M=(A,C), N=(A,C,G,T), R=(A,G), S=(G,C), V=(A,C,G), W=(A,T), Y=(C,T). U=Uracil; I=Inosine; and LNA: dA=E, dC=F, dG=J, dT=L.

The results will appear instantly in the output fields (lower windows), and update automatically if you make changes to the sequences. The results can be copied and pasted to other programs (Word, Excel, etc.). The analyzer will give the following results:

• Tm (°C)
• CG content (%)
• Length of the primers (nt)
• Number of individual bases (A, T, C and G)
• Extinction coefficient (l/(mol·cm))

• Molecular weight (g/mol)
• Amount / OD unit (nmol/OD260)
• Mass (µg/OD260)
• Primer-dimer estimation**
