DNA Primers

Short sequences (generally about 10 base pairs) of DNA that are complementary to sequences of messenger RNA and allow reverse transcriptases to start copying the adjacent sequences of mRNA. Primers are used extensively in genetic and molecular biology techniques.

Also Known As:

Primer, DNA; Primer, Oligodeoxyribonucleotide; Primer, Oligonucleotide; Primers, DNA; Primers, Oligodeoxyribonucleotide; Primers, Oligonucleotide; DNA Primer; Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Primer; Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Primers; Oligonucleotide Primer; Oligonucleotide Primers
