Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are DNA polymerases having increased reverse transcriptase efficiency, mismatch tolerance, extension rate and/or tolerance of RT and polymerase inhibitors relative to a corresponding, unmodified polymerase. The polymerases are useful in a variety of disclosed primer extension methods. Also disclosed are related compositions, including recombinant nucleic acids, vectors, and host cells, which are useful, e.g., for production of the DNA polymerases.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recombinant DNA polymerase having increased reverse transcriptase efficiency, mismatch tolerance, extension rate and/or tolerance of reverse transcriptase (RT) and polymerase inhibitors compared with a control DNA polymerase, wherein the DNA polymerase has at least 98% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 and comprises a motif in the polymerase domain consisting of:…
