Amplification profiles:
1 cycle at 94°C/5 min, 30 cycles including 94°C/1 min, 55°C/2 min, and 72°C/3 min, and a final cycle at 72°C/10 min.
1 cycle at 94°C/5 min, 35 cycles including 94°C/30 sec, 65°C/30 sec, and 72°C/30 sec, and a final cycle at 72°C/10 min.
1 cycle at 95°C/15 min, 47 cycles of denaturation at 95°C/30 sec, annealing at 55–60°C/25 sec (primer’s Tm dependent), and elongation at 72°C/30 sec, fluorescence monitoring at 60–90°C, 0.01°C for 0.3 sec, and final incubation at 72°C/5 min. Single melting curves always verified.
