PCR amplification conditions: 40 cycles of 95°C for 600 min 95°C with a 0-min hold, cooling at 20°C/s to 63°C with a 7-min hold, heating at 20°C/s to 72°C with a 7-min hold. Heating at 20°C/s to 95°C with 0-min hold, cooling at 20°C/s at 65°C and heating at 0.2°C/s to 95°C in a continuous acquisition mode produced the melting curve.
