Please tell us, why not? If you don't publish the primers and PCR
conditions, no one will be able to confirm your results by repeating the
experiment. Leaving this information out would be BAD science, IMO.
Including the primer sequence as a part of the entire DNA fragment sequence
obtained may or may not be appropriate, but this information should
definitely be included somewhere in the publication.
