AELA_PCR_fw
The Asymmetric Exponential and Linear Amplification (AELA) represents a novel variant of PCR capable of producing single-stranded amplicons from double-stranded DNA. According to reference paper[1], AELA-PCR utilizes a unique amplification strategy that combines both exponential and linear amplification of the target, requiring the use of specially designed primers.

Design
The primer design for AELA-PCR is divided into two parts: the extended primer and the unextended primer, as shown in Figure 1. Here, we will discuss considerations for both.

Figure 1. AELA-PCR primer design comprises both the extended primer and the unextended primer.
Extended primer:
1. Primer size between 25~30 bps.
2. Tm value between 68~70°C.
3. We should design self-complementary sequence for AELA PCR linear amplification phase.
4. Value of GC content should be 40%~60%.
5. 3’ end with high GC content.
Unextended primer:
(Design based on standard PCR primer design)[2]
1. Primer size between 18~24 bps.
2. Tm value between 50~60°C.
3. Value of GC content should be 40%~60%.
4. 3’ end with high GC content.
We used Primer 3[3] to search the suitable site an check it by IDT OligoAnalyzer™ Tool.[4]
