This study

  1. PCR amplifications were carried out in 25-μl volumes that include 2 μl of template DNA, 0.4 μl of each 10 μM forward and reverse primer, 2.5 μl of 2.5 mM deoxynucleoside triphosphate, and 0.3 μl of EX Taq DNA polymerase at 5 U/μl (Takara Bio Inc., Japan). Thermal cycling comprised an initial denaturing of 96°C for 1 min, followed by 35 cycles of amplification (96°C for 30 s, 55°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 30 s) and a final extension for 4 min. PCR products were electrophoresed in a 1.5% agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining under UV light.
