Abstract
The invention relates to the use of enzymes for copying or amplifying bisulphite modified or treated nucleic acids, wherein the enzymes are more effective in copying or amplifying the nucleic acid compared with native Taq polymerase under substantially the same conditions.
Claims21
Use of an enzyme for copying or amplifying bisulphite modified or treated nucleic acids, wherein the enzyme is more effective in copying or amplifying the nucleic acid compared with native Taq polymerase under substantially the same conditions.
A method for copying or amplifying bisulphite treated nucleic acid comprising:
- bisulphite treating a nucleic acid;
- and
- copying or amplifying the bisulphite treated nucleic acid using an enzyme which is more effective in copying or amplifying bisulphite treated nucleic acid compared with native Taq polymerase under substantially the same conditions.
