What We've Accomplished

Primer Design

SO1415

Gene sequence: overhang of the actual gene

This sequence was found on http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

Megablast was used to compare the designed primer against the s. oneidensis genome

The length, gc content, melt temp etc info was found on www.idtdna.com

The site used to find parameters of a well-designed primer: http://www.premierbiosoft.com/tech_notes/PCR_Primer_Design.html
