The specificity of the PCR depends crucially upon the primers. The following factors are important in choosing effective primersPrimers should be 17 to 30 nucleotides in lengthA GC content of about 50% is ideal. For primers with a low GC content, it is desirable to choose a long primer to avoid a low melting temperature.Sequences with long runs (i.e., more than three or four) of a single nucleotide should be avoided.
