Primer Premier

Primer Premier is an advanced program suite for Windows designed to provide scientists and molecular biology students with a means of analyzing polymerase chain reaction primers.

Goal

Nowadays the study of various scientific disciplines implies the use of innovative methods and technologies. For those involved in the field of molecular biology, working on analyzing PCR primers there is a convenient software solution called Primer Premier. It comes with a well-organized graphical user interface which gives you access to all available functions and carry out desired tasks.

Performance

It is necessary to mention that the program requires a considerable amount of system resources. Since it was developed in Java, it is recommended to ensure that you have enough free memory. You can do that by closing all other running applications.

Functionality

After you import a specific sequence file or open an existing project, the software scans and displays all the data inside the main window. This information is then structured in several tabs, depending on the options you select. What is more, the primer properties, BLAST and SNP data each have their corresponding section, where all the details are displayed.

When it comes to the analysis capabilities, the utility is equipped with various tools for performing advanced primer, BLAST and template structure searches, as well as for evaluating predesigned primers and more. Alternatively, you may use another program called StepOne.
