PrimPol is required for replicative tolerance of G quadruplexes in vertebrate cells [PDF]
G quadruplexes (G4s) can present potent blocks to DNA replication. Accurate and timely replication of G4s in vertebrates requires multiple specialized DNA helicases and polymerases to prevent genetic and epigenetic instability.

Bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase — Sequenase
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 ...

An analysis of the localisation and interactions of human p66 DNA polymerase δ subunit [PDF]
DNA polymerase d is essential for eukaryotic DNA replication and also plays a role in DNA repair. The processivity of this polymerase complex is dependent upon its interaction with the sliding clamp PCNA and the polymerase-PCNA interaction is largely ...

Organisms possess multiple DNA polymerases (Pols) and use each for a different purpose. One of the five Pols in Escherichia coli, DNA polymerase IV (Pol IV), encoded by the dinB gene, is known to participate in lesion bypass at certain DNA adducts.

Fidelity of DNA polymerases in the detection of intraindividual variation of mitochondrial DNA
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 ...
