To solve the problem of severe dimerization of primers, we tried to adjust PCR system and use different concentration of upstream and downstream primers. As the concentration of PCR product is too low to be digested and purification, we attempted to use PCR product got yesterday as the template for PCR today.

PCR system (pyrobest):

 H2O	                       17.3ul
 10×buffer	               2.5μl
 dNTP	                       2.5μl
 primer1	               1μl
 primer2	               0.5μl
 template	               1μl
 pyrobest	               0.2μl
 Total	                       25μl

Result: to my disappoint, after gel purification,target fragments disappeared! What's worse, no PCR product of Chlr is seen in the gel photograph actually.
