Primer Validator

Primer Validator is a highly useful scientific utility that aids researchers in verifying whether the designed primer is unique for the gene of interest or not. This software is especially beneficial if the gene is a part of a large superfamily. Besides, researchers may also need to check whether the oligonucleotide at the 3? end has the potential to bind to the cDNAs of other genes within the same superfamily.

One of the main drawbacks of most primer-designing programs is that they don't automatically search for matched sequences in other genes. However, Primer Validator can help researchers search inside multiple genes simultaneously, making it an excellent tool for selecting the best-designed primer that is specific to the studied gene.

The main objective of Primer Validator is to allow users to search in multiple sequence files and identify the oligonucleotides. However, it's crucial to note that this software is not a primer-designing program. Users must have a list of primers for the studied gene before using it. In addition, it's advisable to read the instructions provided in the downloaded package for more information.

Primer Validator has a minimal system requirement of QuickTime 5.0 or later. However, the Demo version has a restriction. Users can only import 200 nucleotides. Despite this limitation, Primer Validator remains a useful tool for researchers who require an efficient tool to aid in their research.
