Primers stored in the PrimerBank database have been designed to represent most known human and mouse genes. A total of 26 855 primer pairs, representing 27 684 mouse genes, have been experimentally validated by QPCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, sequencing and BLAST and all experimental validation data can be viewed from the PrimerBank web site.
