  • Shown are the sequences of PCR primers used in this study, the sequence range of the PCR products, the restriction enzymes used, and the size of the resulting restriction fragments. The α2, α3, and α4 products share a degenerate set of primers, as do the β2 and β4 products. The α5 and β3 products share a degenerate forward primer but have specific reverse primers. Digestion fragments used to identify particular products are underlined.
