Hi,
I'm trying to switch from ordinary Taq polymerase to a proofreading enzyme in
my PCR to reduce a high level of Taq errors I was getting in cloned PCR
products. My PCR reaction is 45s at 94, 45s at 61, 20s at 72 for 35 cycles.
Are any of these stages too long or is 35 cycles too many? I've reduced
enzyme and primer concentrations but I still get three products at 500-1500bp
rather than the 327bp product I'm expecting.
Help!
