^a'Touchdown' PCR amplification conditions were as follows: denaturation at 94°C for 10 minutes, followed by two cycles of 94°C for 30 seconds, 30 seconds at the fragment annealing temperature (T_A) + 6°, and 72°C for 30 seconds. The conditions remained the same for the rest of the PCR except for the annealing temperature, which consisted of two cycles at (T_A+ 4°C), then two cycles at (T_A+ 2°C) and, finally, 35 cycles at the T_A. A final extension step was conducted at 72°C for 7 minutes.
