Hello,
I understood that amorce translated in English as "primer", so I have been using it for "amorce" throughout my text, however, the French text also says "primer", should I translate both as "primer"?
Amorce sens Universelle = Universal sense primer
and "primer" here used in the French text:
Primer-1: 5’-AGTCGAGAGCCGATTCCGCT-3’
Your insight would be very useful
Thank you

primer
You're right, amorce is primer. I reckon they are just using the English word on some occasions and the French on others. It is quite common for French molecular biologists to adopt the English vocabulary.

to porportion and prime
Perhaps this means to measure and prepare
