Targeted sequencing of multiplex PCR amplicons is commonplace in research laboratories and clinical diagnostics. There are numerous tools for the a priori optimization of primers and reactions, but no tools to detect specific problematic primers post hoc. We developed URAdime, a tool for analyzing primer sequences in sequencing data to identify dimers and super-amplicons. We show that it successfully detects these unwanted amplicons and accurately attributes their generation to specific primers.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
