fastest method to get potential amplicons based on paired-primers

Hi all,

Generally, we can use tools such as primer3 to design the available primers for PCR.

However, sometimes the primer will be located in repeat region, which might lead to non-specific amplicons.

My question is how to get all potential amplicons for this pair primers across the whole genome except to blast for each primer.

Thanks

MFEprimer can do that.

If you use NCBI primerblast (which is a primer3 implementation) you get a comprehensive overview of non-intended/aspecific amplicons

However primerblast is only available as a web interface, no standalone program
