Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Primers

👉 Primers are small, complementary segments of DNA or RNA that act as templates for synthesis of new sequences. They consist of a base pair and an optional 3' cap structure that is often used to ensure accurate and reliable strand separation during cloning. Primers can be designed to introduce specific mutations into the target genome, thereby increasing the likelihood of achieving desired genetic variations. Primers are typically synthesized using PCR technology (Polymerase Chain Reaction), which involves amplifying a small segment of DNA or RNA
