  1. aTotal number of selective bases added for the 2 primers.
  2. b"GC cont" is composed of three classes of selective bases differing according to the proportion of their GC content: "AT" corresponds to selective bases containing a larger number of A or T, "GC" to selective bases containing a larger number of C or G, "m" to selective bases containing same number of A or T and C or G.
  3. cMaximum number of co-migrating fragments in one single peak.
