  2. PCR conditions
    Program a standard thermocycler to run the reaction using the following parameters:
    Initial denaturation
    • Denature: 95°C, 15 mins
    Thermocycling
    • No. of cycles: 39
    • Denature: 94°C, 30 secs
    • Anneal: 62°C, 30 secs
    • Elongate: 68°C, 3.5 mins
    Termination
    • Elongate: 68°C, 20 mins
    • Hold: 4°C, until removed from machine

TOTAL TIME REQUIRED FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PROTOCOL :~ 3 hrs, 35 mins
