In Silico PCR Tool

Virtual PCR simulation, primer binding analysis, and amplicon prediction.

Virtual (in silico) or electronic PCR (ePCR) for primers/probes, miRNA or gRNA binding site prediction. Eliminates "off-target" effects against whole genomes, predicts PCR products and searches for potential mismatches.

Alternative: For unlimited genome sizes, use the command-line in silico PCR Java application.

Quick Help for In Silico PCR (ePCR)
  • Provide target sequence(s) in FASTA or retrieve by NCBI accession; paste primer list in the second tab.
  • Use degenerate/IUPAC primers if needed; check mismatches/off-targets in the results tabs.
