Apa itu Primer?


Primer
• A short oligonucleotide which is used in many molecular
techniques.

• Primers are designed to have a sequence which is the


reverse complement a region of template or target DNA
to which we wish the primer to anneal
DNA Structure
Objective of Primer Usage
• To generate cDNA for PCR assay  RT

• To use as the origin of new DNA synthesis  PCR

• To use as the origin of DNA Sequencing


Types of Primer
• Oligo dT: Stretch of thymine
residues that anneal to
poly(A) tail of mRNA

• Random Hexamer: Six to


nine bases long, they anneal
at multiple points along RNA
transcript

• Gene-Spesific Primers:
Custom made primers that
target specific mRNA
sequence
How can we decide which
primers to use in PCR?

Can we design our own


primer sets?

Primer Design Criteria
• Primer uniqueness
• Primer length
• Base composition
• Melting Temperature (Tm)
• GC content range
• 3’ – clamp properties (terminal
residue, GC content)
• Lack of Secondary structures
• Length of amplified region
A Simple Rule (I)
• Primer Uniqueness
Only one target site in the template DNA where the primer
binds  the primer sequences should be unique in the
template DNA
There shall be no annealing site in possible contaminant
sources, such as human, rat etc.
A Simple Rule (I)
• Primer size: 18-25 bases in length

• Avoid repetitive bases  to avoid secondary


structures or mispriming
• 50-60% GC content in each primer
• Optimum Tm for each primer: 55-65°C
Tm and Annealing Temp.

Annealing Temp. = Tm primer - 5

Annealing Temp. differences between primers: 3°C


A Simple Rule (II): 3’ ends
• 3’ end of each primer contains G or C (2G,
2C od GC)
• 3’ end of primers should not be
complementary
3’ End of Primer

Avoid mismatch between primers and template at 3’end


A Simple Rule (III)
• Avoid Secondary Structure: Hairpin Loop
A Simple Rule (III)
• Avoid Secondary Structure: Self Complementary
A Simple Rule (III)
• Avoid Secondary Structure: Primer-Primer Dimer
How to Design Primer
1. Manual Design
• Download all interested sequences from
GenBank
• Do Multiple sequence alignment of all interest
sequence (target sequence)
• Manually select the position for primer design
 using primer criteria
• Primer checking: length, %GC, Tm, specificity
of DNA target (using BLAST), secondary
structure
