If you are happy with the sequence of the primer click Add primer to template. Select to make a primer for the Bottom strand: Click the 'Background Color' drop-down menu to choose from a list of predefined colors, or choose 'More Colors.' to define a custom background color. If necessary, select 'General' in the sidebar. To transform the selection into a primer expand Primers in the top menu and select Add primer. Open Preferences Click SnapGene Preferences (macOS) or Edit Preferences (Windows or Linux). Select a sequence that starts after the stop codon of Rab5 with the correct Tm: Try to do the exercise without peeking at the solution. So the only requirements of the reverse primer are its location (directly after the stop codon) and its Tm (60-62☌). This means we can use the existing BamH1 site right downstream of the rab5 gene. If you are happy with the sequence of the primer click Add primer to template (green).įor cloning Rab5 into the vector later on, we will use a BamHI restriction site. To do this click at the 5’ end of the primer and type a random sequence of 6 nt (red): To shield the site we will some random nucleotides to the 5' end of the primer. The sequence of the site is now added to the 5' end of the primer (blue). Select BspE1' in the site box (red) and click the Insert button (green): To add the restriction site select the Insertions tab: For oligos with degenerate (mixed) bases, the Tm is estimated by averaging the relevant. SnapGene assumes an oligo concentration of 0.25 M for a PCR primer, or 0.5 M each for two annealed oligos. The Tm also depends on the oligo concentration. This convention is used by many oligo suppliers. You can just type the sequence you want to add SnapGene assumes a Na+ concentration of 50 mM.You can insert codons, restriction sites and tags.Primer length should be in the range of 18 to 22 bases. There are two ways to add a sequence to the primer: Here are a few things to keep in mind when designing your own primers. To clone the gene you need a BspE1 site at the 5' end of the primer. Select to make a primer for the Top strand: To transform the selection into a primer expand Primers in the top menu and select Add primer. As you elongate your selection, SnapGene automatically displays the length and Tm of the selection: Go back to the Sequence view of mRFP1-Rab5 and select a sequence that starts with the ATG start codon of Rab5.

The only thing that is still variable in this case is the length of the primer, which will be determined by the Tm that we wish. Watch our easy-to-follow videos and learn how to annotate features, create primers, simulate PCR and perform silent mutations using SnapGene. We want primers with a Tm in the range of 60-62☌. The forward primer should also contain a BspE1 restriction site to fuse the gene to AcGFP1. For this, our choice of primers is restricted: the forward primer needs to start with the Rab5 start codon so its location is fixed. For cloning this is often the case.įor instance, we want to make primers to clone the Rab5 gene from plasmid mRFP1-Rab5 as a fusion to the AcGFP1 gene in plasmid pAcGFP1-C1. Only when you have no flexibility in your choice of primers, I would use SnapGene to design them.
