Figure 1. Complementary targets of the mammals β-actin gene targeted probe and flanking primers.

Partial alignment of β-actin gene sequences of several mammal species showing the complementary targets of the P_Actin TaqMan probe and respective flanking degenerated primers (F_Actin and R_Actin) (gray boxes). The GenBank access numbers from which the partial sequences were retrieved are indicated for each species inside parenthesis. Mismatches in relation to consensus sequence are highlighted in red.
