primer sequence - reverse primer sequence (Oct/19/2008 )
Hi,
I have the following reverse primer sequence: gccatgatctgcaccacgttacctttcttttcctccaacgcccc. I have tried the NCBI Blast tool to map the sequence and it shows the following hits NM 007912.4 and NM 207655.2 mRNA. My problem is that I cannot find where the sequence for this reverse primer is on the transcript. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
sybr
Blasting your sequence shows many hits to mouse EGFR, with bases 19-44. Here's some sample output, a few of very many hits:

Thanks. I get the same hits, but when I try and find that same primer sequence in the mouse EGFR transcript i can't see where it matches, ie, which exon? is it closer to the 5' or 3' of that sequence?
Thanks

it is teling you that the hit is located within the sequence AF456454 between bases 598 and 623. You are probably missing it because it will appear as a reverse complement (note the order of the numbers in the hit).
