Abstract

The design of the primers affects the PCR's specificity. A mitochondrial gene called Cyt-b is frequently used in PCR to detect the presence of pork, but because the sequence is nearly identical to that of bovine Cyt-b, false positive results frequently occur in lab tests. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create primers that amplify NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5), another mitochondrial gene, and to carry out in silico PCR experiments utilizing bioinformatics tools. Using Geneious Prime bioinformatic software, the mitochondrial ND5 sequences of Sus scrofa and Bos taurus were pairwise matched after being retrieved from NCBI. For both pigs and cows, primers were created using a species-specific sequence. Using Primer BLAST tools in NCBI, the specificity of the primers was examined. The outcome of this research was two sets of primers that amplified a 467 bp fragment of ND5 that was unique to pork and 206 bp fragment of ND5 specific to bovine.
