The Ag Data Commons is migrating

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new institutional portal on Figshare. The current system is available for search and download only. The new platform is open for submission with assistance from Ag Data Commons curators. Please contact NAL-ADC-Curator@usda.gov, if you need to publish or update your datasets.

CottonGen Primer3

Primer3web version 4.0.0 allows users to pick PCR primers from a DNA sequence based on criteria including:

  • oligonucleotide melting temperature, size, GC content, and primer-dimer possibilities,

  • PCR product size,

  • positional constraints within the source (template) sequence, and

  • possibilities for ectopic priming (amplifying the wrong sequence)

  • many other constraints.

All of these criteria are user-specifiable as constraints, and some are specifiable as terms in an objective function that characterizes an optimal primer pair.
