Comparison of primer specificity between the new and the universal primer pairs using in silico PCR. The number of off-target amplifications is classified as others in grey, while desired amplifications of lichen-forming fungi in Parmeliaceae are marked in white. The number of nucleotide mismatches in the priming sites is shown as Mis_0 to Mis_3, indicating 0 to 3 nucleotide mismatches.
