In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a pair of primers defines the DNA segment to be amplified. . Primer3-py provides Python bindings for the Primer3 DNA primer design library. It supports PCR primer selection, melting temperature calculations, and thermodynamic analysis of hairpins, homodimers and heterodimers. . The bindings use a modified Primer3 library with thread-safe thermodynamic calculations and a Cython interface for efficient access from Python.
