    Biocom reports: Recombinase Polymerase Amplification ( RPA ) is known as a nucleic acid detection technology that can replace PCR (developed by the British company TwistDx Inc )


    RPA amplification primers can be said to be the key to the entire reaction, so how can we design RPA primers? (Extended reading: Instead of PCR , RPA can be used in HIV testing )

    Choice of primer length

    The length of the RPA primer is generally 30 to 35 nucleotides.


    Primer sequence requirements

    There is no definite sequence design rule for RPA primers, but here are some ready-made experiences for reference:

    5 ' ends of 3-5 nucleotides should be avoided polyethylene guanine, cytosine herein are useful to promote recombinant fragments


    Limitation of the length of the amplified product

    RPA can be amplified up to 1.


    If you need to use detection probes, you should leave enough space when designing amplification primers


    The main process of primer screening

    At present, we cannot judge the amplification performance of primers based on sequence alone, so we need to test and screen candidate primers


    It should be noted that the target region should be a template sequence with a relatively "average" nucleotide composition
