Abstract

Thermostable DNA polymerases both in native form and having single amino acid substitutions and optionally N-terminal deletions are disclosed. These polymerases exhibit a substantial improvement of DNA sequencing performance compared to Taq DNA polymerase. The instant DNA polymerases also possess improved salt tolerance.
