I want to know which primer design tool I can use for PSR and how to design it. Thank you very much.
Azadeh Mizani For PSR (Polymerase Spiral Reaction), an isothermal amplification technique, you can use general primer design tools commonly employed for PCR or other isothermal amplification methods like LAMP. Though there isn't a tool specifically for PSR, several versatile tools can help you design primers that are suitable for PSR. Below is a guide on tools and how to design primers for PSR. Primer Design Tools for PSR:
1. Primer3 - One of the most popular tools for general primer design. You can define parameters like primer length, GC content, and melting temperature (Tm).
2. Primer-BLAST - Combines Primer3 with a BLAST function to check the specificity of your primers against the genome, ensuring no off-target amplification.
3. OligoAnalyzer - Useful for evaluating the secondary structures of primers (e.g., dimers, hairpins), which is important in PSR.
4. LAMP Designer - While designed for LAMP, the tool can be used to create primers for PSR as both are isothermal amplification methods.
5. OligoArchitect™ - Another option for designing primers, especially useful when you need specific features like target sequence and high specificity.
