After testing primers in a new species (see Fig, species B), we notice that our qPCR melt curve peak has a shoulder on both sides in comparison to species A which has a nice clean curve.  What does this mean?  Non-specific amplification? primer dimers?

Has anyone experienced this before and if so, do you have any recommendations on how should we start to optimise the qPCR conditions?

Any help would be highly appreciated!
