Think about it.

10E6 copies of genomic DNA is a lot!

If it was human DNA it would be 3ug of genomic DNA!

So if you stick loads of genomic DNA in a PCR then run the finished 
amplification out on the gel, don't be surprised to see the starting 
genomic DNA in an aliquot of the final PCR run out on a gel.

>if I increase the amount of gDNA, those bands disappear?

Disappear or appear?

Appear because of above.
