Alternatives to Taq A variety of thermostable polymerases that have proof-reading ability have been found.
{"Image DocumentName": "Alternatives to TaqA variety of thermostable polymerases that have proof-reading ability have been found.", "Image ImageDescription": "Essential if fidelity of sequence is important. Taq remains the most commonly used polymerase for PCR. Cheap, robust. Vent is a polymerase with 3\u2019\u21925\u2019 proof-reading. Similar cost as Taq but 10-fold higher fidelity. Phusion is a polymerase with 3\u2019\u21925\u2019 proof-reading. 50-fold lower error rate than Taq. Can amplify 10 kb plasmids reliably. 3 times more expensive than Taq.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
