PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization

Chapter 10. Figure 3. Advanced software analysis for HRMA heterozygote scanning. When many samples are analyzed and multiple domains or alleles are present, curve overlay or "temperature shifting" increases accuracy. Curve shapes are compared by shifting the temperature axis to superimpose the curves, usually over a low fluorescence segment. Samples should also be analyzed without curve overlay for homozygote detection. Shown is a 544 bp PCR product that melts in two domains, with an SNP revealed in the lower temperature domain.
