  RDF Primer
This Primer is intended to provide an introduction to RDF and describe some existing RDF applications, to help information system designers and application developers understand the features of RDF and how to use them.
For convenience, the Primer uses a shorthand way of writing triples (the same shorthand is also used in other RDF specifications).
In the rest of the Primer, the examples will use typed literals from appropriate datatypes rather than plain (untyped) literals, in order to emphasize the value of typed literals in conveying more information about the intended interpretation of literal values.

  Primer (molecular biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A primer is a nucleic acid strand, or a related molecule that serves as a starting point for DNA replication.
A primer is required because most DNA polymerases, enzymes that catalyze the replication of DNA, cannot begin synthesizing a new DNA strand from scratch, but can only add to an existing strand of nucleotides.
Therefore primer sequence corresponding to the amino acid isoleucine might be "ATH", where A stands for adenine, T for thymine, and H for adenine, thymine, or cytosine, according to the genetic code for each codon.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Primer
Three other constant elements are also invariably included in the Primer: the Fifteen Psalms (i.e., the Gradual Psalms, Psalms 119-133), the Seven Psalms (i.e., the Penitential Psalms), and the Litany of the Saints.
Bishop has shown, the Primer was constituted out of certain devotional accretions to the Divine Office itself which were invented first by the piety of individuals for the use of monks in their monasteries, but which gradually spread and came to be regarded as an obligatory supplement to the office of the day.
True, a number of manuscript primers of the fifteenth century are in existence, in which the whole contents have been translated into English, but these are comparatively rare exceptions.

 Primer Design
These primers are designed to have a sequence which is the reverse complement of a region of template or target DNA to which we wish the primer to anneal.
When designing primers for PCR, sequencing or mutagenesis it is often necessary to make predictions about these primers, for example melting temperature (Tm) and propensity to form dimers with itself or other primers in the reaction.
When primers form hairpin loops or dimers less primer is available for the desired reaction.

 PCR Primer Design
However, I have used primers with as high as 256- and 1024-fold degeneracy for the successful amplification and subsequent direct sequencing of a wide range of Mastreviruses against a background of maize genomic DNA (Rybicki and Hughes, 1990).
Primer sequences were derived from multiple sequence alignments; the mismatch positions were used as 4-base degeneracies for the primers (shown as stars; 5 in F and 4 in R), as shown above.
Despite their degeneracy, the primers could be used to amplify a 250 bp sequence from viruses differing in sequence by as much as 50% over the target sequence, and 60% overall.

Importantly, PRIMER's annealing temperature calculation is based on thermodynamic parameters (with the base stacking term dominant), and is far more accurate than calculations based on GC/AT ratios.
While PRIMER was specifically designed to select primers from cloned and sequenced genomic DNAs, many of the tests it performs are useful for selecting oligos for other types of experiments as well, including other PCR applications, oligo hybridization and dideoxy sequencing.
Note that while PRIMER is available for free use for non-commercial basic research purposes in both academia and industry, PRIMER may NOT be used to design oligos for any commercial purpose whatsoever without specific written permission from The Whitehead Institute.
