primer list
A primer list is a collection of short DNA sequences called primers that are used in laboratory techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). These primers are designed to specifically match and bind to particular segments of DNA, enabling scientists to selectively amplify or replicate those regions. Think of it as a tailored set of keys that unlock specific parts of a larger DNA lock, making it easier to study or analyze particular genes or DNA sequences. The primer list ensures accuracy and efficiency in DNA research, medical diagnostics, and genetic testing.
