How do I use the SnapGene primer database to add primers to my sequences?
SnapGene 9.0 and later has a dedicated primer database for storing, labelling and reusing primers across projects. Add Primers to the Primer Database from .CSV/.TSV files or SnapGene files, and organize your primers with labels, then as detailed below, use the primer database to annotate primers onto your DNA sequences.
