The multiplex PCR experiment is to amplify multiple regions of a DNA sequence at the same time by using different primer pairs. Although, in recent years, there are lots of methods for PCR primer design, only a few of them focus on the multiplex PCR primer design. The multiplex PCR primer design is a tedious task since there are too many constraints to be satisfied. A new method for multiplex PCR primer design strategy using genetic algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm is able to find a set of suitable primer pairs more efficient and uses a MAP model to speed up the examination of the specificity constraint. The dry-dock experiment shows that the proposed algorithm finds several sets of primer pairs for multiplex PCR that not only obey the design properties, but also have specificity.
