Pfu

[T. Max M. Soegaard]

Hi.
You might also try to include betaine in your mix (final 1 M) to reduce
the difference in melting temp. between AT and GC bp´s.
Ref would be :
Hengen P, 
Trends Biochem Sci, vol 22 (1997), pp. 225-226
and cited refs therein.

Works for me on GC rich templates (genomic or cDNA).
