APPARATUS FOR DESIGNING NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION PRIMERS, PROGRAM FOR DESIGNING PRIMERS AND SERVER APPARATUS FOR DESIGNING PRIMERS

摘要

It is intended to provide an apparatus for designing primers, whereby an appropriate primer never forming any undesired nucleic acid fragment due caused by the binding of the primer to an unintended part in a nucleic acid amplification reaction can be designed, a program for designing primers and a server apparatus for designing primers. Namely, a program for designing primers aiming at computerizing the procedure for determining a series of primers to be used in amplifying a plural number of sequences in a nucleic acid, wherein a series of primers to be used in amplifying a plural number of sequences in a nucleic acid are determined by, for each potential combination in selecting two sites from among multiple sites to be amplified, computing and scoring the complementary between the sequence of a candidate primer for one of the two sites and the sequence of an amplification product obtained at the other sites of the two sites.
