What are the requirements for sequencing primers?
General requirements for sequencing primers:
(1) Specific binding to the sequencing template, with no more than 4 base mismatches.
(2) Must not contain mixed bases.
(3) Length: 17–25 bases.
(4) High purity, preferably PAGE purified.
(5) Dissolved in ddH₂O, not TE buffer.
