THERMOSTABLE DNA POLYMERASE FROM THERMUS FILIFORMIS

摘要

Disclosed is a thermostable DNA polymerase from Thermus filiformis. This enzyme is useful for DNA sequencing, reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. Included within the scope of the present invention are various mutants (deletion and substitution) that retain thermostability and the ability to replicate DNA with substantially the same efficiency as the native Thermus filiformis polymerase.
