would for a manually created program (see

• Select adjustments to the program.
•"GC" content larger than 70%? If the DNA template contains
greater than 70% GC base pairs, add this adjustment. The wizard
will adjust the PCR program to compensate for the higher melting
temperature of the template.
•Do you want a gradient annealing step? If you want the annealing
step of the PCR program to be a temperature gradient, add this
adjustment. The wizard will determine an appropriate gradient
range based on the melting temperatures of the primers.
