摘要 |
<p>The present invention generally relates to detection of a target nucleic acid in standard PCR, real-time PCR, RT PCR, and real-time RT PCR. One aspect of the invention provides mutant DNA polymerase enzymes that are resistant to PCR inhibitors, such as dye, blood, and soil. Another aspect of the invention provides for methods of real-time PCR assays using mutant DNA polymerase enzymes resistant to PCR inhibitors with samples containing dye, blood, and/or soil. Another aspect of the invention provides for methods of standard PCR assays using mutant DNA polymerase enzymes resistant to PCR inhibitors with samples containing blood and/or soil.</p> |
