Elongation factor 2 region 1

Miadlikowska et al. (2014) and Magain et al. (2017) developed primers for the EF2.1 locus. All three primers below were designed for studies on Peltigera.

EFT2-1F (forward: 5′-AAYATGWSBGTBATYGC-3′)             Miadlikowska et al. (2014)

EFT2-4R (reverse: 5′-GGVACCATYTTVGARAC-3′)              Miadlikowska et al. (2014)

EFT2.1_3R (reverse: 5′-ATCCCTGATACCAATGCATGCC-3′)         Magain et al. (2017)
