The Department of Anatomy at the College of Medicine at Al-Qadisiyah University organized a training course on primer design, presented by Dr. Mohammed Saeed, Dr. Abbas Ghafal, Dr. Hala Mohsen Matar, and Dr. Noura Majid Kazem. The course aimed to train researchers on the most important methods used in primer design and their scientific and practical significance. Such courses contribute to enhancing the efficiency of PCR reactions and the quality of results in laboratories.<\/p>\n
The course addressed that designing an appropriate primer is essential for the success of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR. It also included learning the latest programs and algorithms used in primer design, such as Primer3 and Primer-BLAST, which help in obtaining highly effective primers. Additionally, the course emphasized the importance of key criteria that must be met in primer sequences, such as temperature, GC content, and size, to ensure the success of the reaction. Understanding the mechanism of primer action and its importance in amplifying DNA helps in developing researchers’ skills.<\/p>\n
The course recommended the necessity of introducing modern technologies in hospitals and health centers due to their high accuracy in disease diagnosis. It also emphasized the need to train laboratory personnel, which positively reflects on the quality of work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
