Error Prone PCR

[LoPony]

Try using a mix of Vent polymerase (with the proofreading) and Taq.  The
problem with Vent is that it's difficult to produce a very long product
(even a couple of kb is big for it) and the problem with Taq is that it's
error prone.  A mix of the two works well many times.

Good luck.
