Abstract

The observed high resolution melt (HRM) temperatures for primer sets targeting Psilocybe DNA were 78.85 ± 0.31°C and 73.22 ± 0.61°C using SYBRGreen I dye.

  • Two primer sets were designed to specifically target the DNA of Psilocybe cubensis.
  • Eighteen samples, including twelve different mushroom species, were analyzed for DNA extraction.
  • PCR was performed using various intercalating dyes to assess DNA amplification.
  • High resolution melt temperatures were measured to evaluate the performance of the primers.
  • The primer sets demonstrated reproducibility and sensitivity in the amplification process.
