HTML-PCR products generated using 100 ng of template and 15 cycles of PCR as visualized by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. Lanes 1–7 were performed using 2-amino deoxyadenosine-tailed substrate, lane 8 contains 2-Log DNA ladder (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA) and lanes 9–15 were performed using dA-tailed substrate. In lanes 1–7 and in lanes 8–15, the PCR annealing temperature was progressively increased as follows: 48°C, 52.1°C, 54.7°C, 58.3°C, 62.4°C, 65.7°C, or 68.4°C, respectively.
