PCR Primer Design

by Chhandak Basu (Editor)

Overview

This third edition provides new and updated chapters on design PCR primers for successful DNA amplification. Chapters are divided into seven parts, including primer design strategies for quantitative PCR, genotyping, multiplex PCR, in silico PCR primer design, and primer design to identify plant and animal viruses. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Authoritative and easily accessible, PCR Primer Design, Third Edition aims to be useful for various fields of molecular biology, including biotechnology, molecular genetics, and recombinant DNA technology.
