Our In-Silico PCR tool (Tools then In-Silico PCR) takes a pair of primer sequences and returns the products they would amplify, along with the amplicon sequence and a link into the Browser. Set Target to a gene transcript set instead of the genome to handle RT-PCR primers that straddle intron boundaries.

Tools

hg38

hg19

mm39
