Can someone share a primer/probe set that can amplify the same locus in genomic DNA from mouse and human?

07 July 2018 0 977 Report

I have a DNA sample that contain mixed mouse and human cells. I need a set of primer/probe for Taqman that can amplify with the same efficiency a locus in mouse and human genomic DNA, so I can use this to normalize my input DNA in the reaction.
