About Primer Search


The web based primer search tool was developed to search primers that used in Dr. Mullins Lab. Basic search provides searching via primer sequence and name. Advanced search provides searching via HXB2 location, primer usage, direction, viral type and/or subtype. The search result lists the matched primers in primer database with associated information including primer name, sequence, HXB2_location, usage, direction, lab common, viral type, subtype, scientist who provides the primer and notes.

Primer sequence
Primer sequence to be searched in primer database. The result outputs the information of primers that contain the searched sequence pattern.
Primer name
Primer name to be searched in primer database. The result outputs the information of primer that matches the searched name.
Primer location in HXB2
The location relative to HXB2 that the searched primers contain.
Range
The number of bp stands for the range that is beyond the HXB2 location field, which makes searching for primers within a range of HXB2 numbering location.
Primer Usage
The purpose that primer used for.
Primer direction
The direction of primer amplification.
Viral type
Virus type that the primer designed for.
Viral subtype
Virus subtype that the primer designed for.
Lab common
A flag that indicates the commonly used primer in Lab.
Scientist
Scientist who provids the primer.
