Abstract:
The system Online Primer Design is online software which can be used by
biochemists in order to find primer pairs for known DNA sequences. Included in the
software is a learning module which the biochemists can use as a guide in case they
are not familiar with Primer Design. The learning module consists of lessons which
are uploaded by the system expert in order for them to familiarize themselves with
the topic on Primer Design and PCR. Included in the learning module is a quiz
associated to each lesson to check if the student understood the lesson well.
The system is also equipped with animations to give the user visuals on how
