PCR with different primer combinations• Genomic DNAs were used as templates to amplify different regions of DNA including the taste SNP Primer combinations 1.

Observation • [gaF+Gfb(R) and gaF+Cfb(R)] : Allele specific reverse primers showed bands with the corresponding templates just above 500bp. • [Gff(F)+gaR and Cff(F)+gaR] : Allele specific forward primer produced an expected specific band only with non-taster template but not with the taster one. Rather a thick bright band was seen at 100bp with taster template. • [Cfb(F)+Gfb(R) and Cfb(F)+Cfb(R)] : Allele specific reverse primers also worked with a different forward primer producing shorter bands (235bp) • [Gff(F)+Cff(R) and Cff(F)+Cff(R)] : Allele specific forward primers produced similar bands with both templates and were unable to distinguish between the two.
• Allele specific reverse primers when combined with a non-specific common forward primer are able to differentiate the SNPs. • There might have been pipetting error for different results seen with allele specific forward primers or they might not be the right primers to differentiate the taste SNPs.
