Article Synopsis
- Viral metagenomic libraries can provide new enzyme reagents, and research on DNA from a hot thermal pool led to the discovery of a thermostable DNA polymerase called 3173 Pol.
- This enzyme has strong reverse transcriptase activity and includes a proofreading function for high accuracy in PCR applications.
- When tested against existing RT-PCR methods, 3173 Pol showed better specificity and sensitivity, making it a valuable option for research and diagnostics.
