Universal primers 1492R [10uM]

Primers can either be specific to a particular DNA nucleotide sequence or they can be “Universal.”

Universal primers are complementary to nucleotide sequences that are very common in a particular set of DNA molecules and cloning vectors. Thus, they are able to bind to a wide variety of DNA templates. They are used for the amplification of a very similar gene that related to a specific Genus. It binds to a wide variety of DNA templates.

During sequencing, primers are annealed to the denatured DNA template to provide an initiation site for the elongation of the new DNA molecule.
