Back to Protocols, Lidstrom

Taq

  • Cheap
  • Use for colony PCR (you don't keep the DNA so higher error rattes are ok)

Phusion

  • faster, more accurate, & higher processiviy
  • use for DNA modifications (e.g. things that will be put in vivo)
  • more details & instructions: Phusion
  • more stable (DNA/polymerase or tRNA/DNA?) interactions at high annealing temps (said Justin Siegal)
  • Amanda heard that the Finnzymes version is better than NEB's. I couldn't find supporting information. (Janet)
