miRNA primer sequences are universal sequences. U can confirm the sequence details from any miR databases, type your miRNA name and sequence will appear.

Hi, the miRNA database gives the miRNA sequence. Correct me if I am wrong, the database doesn't provide primer sequence right?

In miRBase, IF KNOW THE MIRNA NAME and check there then that database provides the stem loop sequence of miRNA where you can tally the sequence what u have since for miRNA primer synthesis that sequence will needed..

Hi, I only have the primer bottles which labeled as miRNA primer and I do not know what is the miRNA.. So I could not check the database.. I was looking for alternatives which allow me to sequence the primers.

Can you share the primer sequence?

Hi, i only know that the bottle contains an unknown miRNA primer and i have no information about the miRNA name, miRNA sequence and the miRNA primer sequence..

Now, if you say that you do not have even company name/label or any catalog number which could have helped u atleast. Then very sorry...
