DNA polymerases at work:
finding your PCR champion
PCR as we know it today would not be possible without the continual improvements in DNA polymerases. The polymerase used in the first PCR reactions was thermolabile and had to be replenished in every PCR cycle, resulting in tedious workflows. Modern polymerases are thermostable, accurate, and fast and offer optimal performance in molecular biology applications. In this webinar we will talk about the evolution of DNA polymerase technology. We'll also discuss how to choose the optimal DNA polymerase for various PCR applications, as well as how to streamline PCR-based workflows.
Topics covered
- PCR evolution: From Taq and Pfu to Phusion™ and Phusion™ U DNA polymerases
- Intelligent design of polymerases with fusion protein technology
- Choosing the best polymerase for different PCR applications
- How to streamline PCR-based workflows
