...

primer_conservation

Gets/sets the minimum conservation of a region to design primers. 1 by default.

primer_size

Gets/sets the primer size. 20 by default.

flanking_size

Gets/sets the size of the flanking region to take into account for the primer design. 500 by default.

annealing_errors

Gets/sets the maximum percentage of errors allowed for a primer to anneal. 0 by default.
