Reference genome

Primer settings

Structural variants (deletion / duplication)

This mode designs primer pairs in multiple windows around your selected region of interest (typically upstream / internal / downstream) to support structural variant validation. Provide chromosome, start/end coordinates, and choose the variant type.

  • Format/Info:
  • Chromosome should match your selected reference genome (e.g. chr12).
  • Start/end define the affected interval in genomic coordinates.
  • Choose deletion or duplication.

Primer parameters

These values are submitted with your design request. PCR / qPCR presets set target padding and the usual product size range (you can still edit afterward). Advanced keys override the built-in Primer3 defaults when set; leave Tm min/max blank to derive from optimal Tm ±2 °C.

Assay preset

PCR: target padding 50 bp per side, product size 400–800 bp. qPCR: padding 30 bp per side, product size 80–150 bp.
