"Configuration Options
\n"
"Genome and Assembly - The sequence database to search.
\n"
"Target - If available, choose to query transcribed sequences.
\n"
"Forward Primer - Must be at least 15 bases in length.
\n"
"Reverse Primer - On the opposite strand from the forward primer. Minimum length of 15 bases.
\n"
"Max Product Size - Maximum size of amplified region.
\n"
"Min Perfect Match - Number of bases that match exactly on 3' end of primers. Minimum match size is 15.
\n"
"Min Good Match - Number of bases on 3' end of primers where at least 2 out of 3 bases match.
\n"
"Flip Reverse Primer - Invert the sequence order of the reverse primer and complement it.
\n"
"Append to existing PCR result - Add this PCR result list to the currently existing track of PCR results.

"Output
\n"

"containing all sequence in the database that lie between and include the \n"
