Cloning of thermostable recombinant dna polymerase in escherichia coli / Sayeeda Zainab Hasnor

Background: The DNA polymerase from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) has gained considerable attention in the field of DNA amplification as this enzyme have elevated temperature optima and have thermal stabilities that roughly correspond to the thermal extremes of the environment from which they were isola...
