A quick tutorial to check out primers on NCBI to see what the product size should be and how specific they are.

Old school way is just take the primer with NNNs in the middle and blast.

You will get an output as such….

So the primers lay down between bp 400 and 61 on the given sequence, thus 400-61=339 and the band size should be about 339 bp.


You could also just use the Primer-Blast feature.
