摘要
Background Multiplex PCR amplifies numerous targets in a single tube reaction and is essential in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics. One of its most important applications is in the targeted sequencing of pathogens. Despite this importance, few tools are available for designing multiplex primers. Results We developed primerJinn, a tool that designs a set of multiplex primers and allows for the in silico PCR evaluation of primer sets against numerous input genomes. We used primerJinn to create a multiplex PCR for the sequencing of drug resistance-conferring gene regions from Mycobacterium tuberculosis , which were then successfully sequenced. Conclusions primerJinn provides a user-friendly, efficient, and accurate method for designing multiplex PCR primers for targeted sequencing and performing in silico PCR. It can be used for various applications in molecular biology and bioinformatics research, including the design of assays for amplifying and sequencing drug-resistance-conferring regions in important pathogens.
