Abstract

The present invention provides methods, formulation and kits for the synthesis of long nucleic acid fragments. An improved PCR method is provided for amplifying long DNA fragments. In particular, a single thermostable DNA polymerase is used for the rapid amplification of over 10 kb long DNA fragments. Also provided is a method for extending long complementary DNA strands using this single enzyme formulation.
