FIND A SEQUENCE

 

 
Search NCBI Databases

nucleotide query Search for a nucleic acid sequence 
protein query Search for a protein sequence 

Sequence Retrieval System EMBL, not simple

Sequences of plasmids/vectors

Vector Database Sequences of vectors used in Molecular Biology

Mangone's plasmid Data-Bank Sequences, maps and info's for many commonly used plasmids

Invitrogen vectors Searchable batabase of Invitrogen vectors. Includes Sequences, maps, restriction data and additional informations.

Stratagene Vectors Maps and sequences of pBluescript and other Stratagene cloning vectors

An effective way of finding informations, maps and sequences related to an expression/cloning vector is simply to use a meta search engine. It works very well if you know the precise name of the vector. Have a try:

PICK AND ANALYSE PCR PRIMERS

 

   
Primer3 Input selection of PCR oligos, old version

Primer3 Tigem version

Oligo Calculator Calculate TM, %GC, picomoles/OD

Web Based Primerfinder V0.06 Primerfinder is a fast and easy web based primer design program. Primerfinder can search any sequence you input for primers that meet your specifications according to several search parameters. You can specify a target primer length, annealing temp, percent GC and many other advanced search parameters. Additionally, Primerfinder can analyze candidate primers with Integrated DNA Technology's Oligo Analyzer (powered by DNASTAR) for possible hairpin and self-dimer formation. Primerfinder can also examine primers you have already created by other means with IDT's Oligo Analyzer.
