A thermostable chimeric DNA polymerase with proofreading activity, designed for low-bias, high-fidelity amplification. Fusion to a DNA-binding domain increases speed and processivity: the enzyme extends at about 10 seconds per kb and amplifies targets up to 18 kb from genomic DNA and 25 kb from lambda DNA. Fidelity, measured by an NGS-based method, is more than 60 times that of Taq DNA polymerase.
Key features
Over 60x Taq fidelity
3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity and a low error rate measured by NGS analysis.
Fast elongation
About 10 seconds per kb thanks to the DNA-binding domain.
Long range
Amplicons up to 18 kb from genomic DNA and 25 kb from lambda DNA.
Broad GC coverage
Amplifies AT-rich to GC-rich targets; tested on human genomic DNA from 29% to 78% GC.
Applications
- Cloning and subcloning
- NGS applications
- SNP analysis
- Mutagenesis
- Long-range PCR
- Amplification of GC-rich or AT-rich targets
