GeneFisher—fishing for genes, perhaps? Fishing genes out of genomes? Just fishing? The subtitle, Interactive PCR Primer Design, “hooked me” (get it?) but it shouldn’t have in retrospect. After all, ...

The key to an optimal PCR experiment is primer design. In general, primers should be between 18 and 24 nucleotides long and have a GC content between 40 and 60 percent. Ideally primers should contain ...

Applied Biosystems, an Applera Corporation business, has introduced its methylSEQr™ Bisulfite Conversion Kit, a set of prepackaged reagents for bisulfite conversion, and Methyl Primer Express ® ...

Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...
