GenomeTester 1.3 tests 1) whether PCR primers have excessive number of binding sites on template sequence and 2) how many PCR products would be amplified from the template DNA and where are they located.
Having too many binding sites will typically result in failed PCR. Amplifying more than one product is undesireable because alternative PCR products could cause false positive signals in genotyping.
