The melting temperature (Tm) is an estimate for comparing primers with each other, computed from the sequence with the SantaLucia (1998) unified nearest-neighbour model (SantaLucia J Jr (1998), Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95:1460-1465) at 50 mM monovalent cation and 0.5 µM primer. These are standard reporting conditions, not those of any one reaction buffer. A sequence with an ambiguity code has no single Tm and shows none. The Tm estimate is not an annealing temperature. For the annealing temperature of a particular polymerase, use the NEB Tm Calculator.
