| Feature | primer_bind |
| Definition | non-covalent primer binding site for initiation of replication, transcription, or reverse transcription; includes site(s) for synthetic e.g., PCR primer elements; |
| Optional Qualifiers | /db_xref="<database>:<identifier>" /experiment="[CATEGORY:]text" /gene="text" /gene_synonym="text" /inference="[CATEGORY:]TYPE[ (same species)][:EVIDENCE_BASIS]" /locus_tag="text" (single token) /map="text" /note="text" /old_locus_tag="text" (single token) /standard_name="text" /PCR_conditions="text" |
| Comments | used to annotate the site on a given sequence to which a primer molecule binds - not intended to represent the sequence of the primer molecule itself; PCR components and reaction times may be stored under the "/PCR_conditions" qualifier; since PCR reactions most often involve pairs of primers, a single primer_bind key may use the order() operator with two locations, or a pair of primer_bind keys may be used. |
