Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 For certain applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it may be necessary to consider the accuracy of replication. The breakthrough that made PCR user friendly was the commercialization of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase, an enzyme that

Replicative DNA Polymerases [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013 In 1959, Arthur Kornberg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on the principles by which DNA is duplicated by DNA polymerases. Since then, it has been confirmed in all branches of life that replicative DNA polymerases require a single-stranded template to build a complementary strand, but they cannot start a new DNA strand de novo.

Bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase — Sequenase
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 An ideal DNA polymerase for chain-terminating DNA sequencing should possess the following features: 1) incorporate dideoxy- and other modified nucleotides at an efficiency similar to that of the cognate deoxynucleotides; 2) high processivity; 3) high ...

Fidelity of DNA polymerases in the detection of intraindividual variation of mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Here we investigated the consequences of PCR amplification errors in the identification of intraindividual mtDNA variation. The bumblebee Bombus morio was chosen as model for the COI gene amplification tests with two DNA polymerases (Taq and Q5 ...

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).

Fluorescence-Based, High-Throughput DNA Polymerase Assay
BioTechniques, 2002 The commonly used DNA polymerase assay is based on the detection of incorporated radiolabeled nucleotides in a DNA elongation reaction. It is laborious, radioactive, and can be highly variable.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
