Since the presence of secondary structures in primers and also DNA template has detrimental effects in PCR reactions, I was using the web tool http://www.idtdna.com/analyzer/Applications/OligoAnalyzer/ to test the probable DNA template self dimer formation and their dG. However I couldn't find information about the limit of permissible value of those dG, in order to be sure that primer-template annealing is more stable than template-template self dimer. Does anyone have some suggestions?
