“…Genomic DNA was extracted from muscle tissue using a Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Gentra Systems, Valencia, CA). The entire cyt b gene and control region fragment were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (
PCR) using primers from
Xiao et al (2001) and
Zhou et al (2017), respectively. Each 50 µl
PCR mixture contained 5 ng template DNA, 5 µl 10x reaction buffer, 5 µl dNTP mix (10 mM), 5 pmol of each primer and 2 U of Taq polymerase (Promega, Madison, WI, U.S.A.).…”
