Data obtained from this study are highlighted in bold. Replicative polymerases are shown in italics. Values shown in parentheses were measured in the presence of the corresponding processivity factor.
The replication fidelities of Pfu, Taq, Vent, Deep Vent and UlTma DNA polymerases were compared using a PCR-based forward mutation assay. Average error rates (mutation frequency/bp/duplication) increa
