Taq DNA polymerase slippage mutation rates measured by PCR and quasi-likelihood analysis: (CA/GT)n and (A/T)n microsatellites.
During microsatellite polymerase chain reaction (PCR), insertion-deletion mutations produce stutter products differing from the original template by multiples of the repeat unit length. We analyzed the PCR slippage products of (CA)n and (A)n tracts cloned in a pUC18 vector. Repeat numbers varied from two to 14 (CA)n and four to 12 (A)n. Data was generated on approximately 10 single molecules fo...
متن کاملHeterozygote and mutation detection by direct automated fluorescent DNA sequencing using a mutant Taq DNA polymerase.
We describe a method for direct cycle sequencing of PCR fragments amplified from genomic DNA or cDNA. DNA sequencing template is amplified using PCR and oligonucleotide primers flanking the region of interest. The amplified fragment is directly cycle sequenced using fluorescent sequencing primers, Sanger dideoxy sequencing chemistry and an enzyme mixture of a mutant Taq DNA polymerase and therm...
متن کاملAdvantages of a new Taq DNA polymerase in multiplex PCR and time-release PCR.
Extensive diagnostic and scientific investigations are often restricted by limited availability of material. Therefore, methods like multiplex PCR strategies are needed to conserve as much sample as possible. Unfortunately, the establishment of such procedures poses several difficulties. Here we describe the advantages of a new enzyme, AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase, in multiplex and time-release...
متن کاملInfluence of PCR reagents on DNA polymerase extension rates measured on real-time PCR instruments.
BACKGROUND Radioactive DNA polymerase activity methods are cumbersome and do not provide initial extension rates. A simple extension rate assay would enable study of basic assumptions about PCR and define the limits of rapid PCR. METHODS A continuous assay that monitors DNA polymerase extension using noncovalent DNA dyes on common real-time PCR instruments was developed. Extension rates were ...
متن کاملDNA sequencing using Taq polymerase.
Three DNA polymerases, namely E.coli DNA polymerase 1 (Klenow), reverse transcriptase and T7 DNA polymerase (sequenase), are commonly used for DNA sequencing by the chain termination method of Sanger and colleagues [1). However, the secondary structure of the DNA template can impede the progress of all three polymerases. I have developed a novel procedure in which the thermostable polymerase of...
